Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5627 S Marshfield Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Sergio Maldonado, has a documented history spanning over 117 years since its construction in 1906. The property's most significant and pressing concerns are related to an unresolved cluster of building code violations recorded on November 23, 2021, with six separate complaint-driven inspections resulting in citations. While the exact nature of these violations is not specified in the records, their open status suggests ongoing compliance issues that have yet to be addressed. Additionally, there have been two service requests in March 2026 regarding garbage and recycling cart maintenance, both of which were closed successfully. Interestingly, these more recent requests were resolved promptly, though they occurred well beyond the standard seven-year review period for building violations, suggesting either an error in the date records or an unusually lengthy gap between the building's documented service requests. The relatively high number of building violations (11 total) recorded over the past seven years, combined with the open status of multiple recent citations, indicates potential maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges at this property, though the historical data also shows no building violations were recorded during the previous seven-year period (2015-2021).

Risk rating

How 5627 S Marshfield 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
