Unlock complete reportThe 1929 two-story residential building at 5351 S Laflin St in Chicago's New City neighborhood, currently owned by Flavio Terrazas Jr., has experienced a notably high number of building code violations over the past seven years, with a total of 49 violations recorded, all attributed to the current owner. The most significant cluster of unresolved issues appears to have occurred in August-September 2022, when six complaint-driven inspection violations were documented, with one being resolved while five remain open. The building's service request history is relatively limited, with only three 311 service requests recorded in the same seven-year period, all related to garbage and recycling cart maintenance, with the most recent requests being from October 2025 and one from April 2025, which have all been marked as closed. While the building has been issued three permits in the past seven years, this is a notably low number of permits for such a time frame, and the substantial number of unresolved building code violations, particularly those from 2022, raises concerns about ongoing compliance with building safety standards.

How 5351 S Laflin St's risk score is calculated
We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.
What the score means for you
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
Out of 4189 buildings in this neighborhood, 3770 are predicted to be safer.
