Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5318 S Princeton Ave in Fuller Park, owned by Lee Quarterman, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on February 10, 2025, which represent the most significant and recent issues facing the property, as they relate directly to building code compliance. In addition to these open violations, the property has had multiple 311 service requests between 2024 and 2026, with the most recent relating to tree trimming (closed), and a tree removal inspection (closed) in March 2025. There have been two open requests from June 2024 regarding public way inspections, which remain unresolved. The building's documented history spans back to its construction in 1878, making it one of the older structures in the area, and over the past seven years, it has accumulated a total of six building violations and six 311 service requests under its current ownership.

Risk rating

How 5318 S Princeton Ave'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
57thpercentile
