Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 5154 W Wolfram St in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Talie Hassan, has been standing since 1929 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning are four unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of February 2026, with no indication of resolution as of the current date in October 2023. Between 2025 and 2026, the property has had multiple service requests, including two graffiti removal requests (in March and May 2025), a rodent baiting/rat complaint in May 2025, and a sanitation code violation in February 2025, all of which have been resolved. There is also an open tree planting request from August 2025 and a closed building violation request from September 2025. The building's violation and service request history over this period suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, particularly with regards to pest control and exterior upkeep, though it's worth noting that some of these issues, such as graffiti and tree planting, may be more related to public space management than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 5154 W Wolfram 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

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
11thpercentile
