Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5019 W George St in Belmont Cragin, owned by Fidel De La Cruz, was constructed in 1925 and has generated 18 service requests through the Chicago 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent activity suggests ongoing attention to municipal services and infrastructure, with multiple tree-related requests in 2025 including emergency response, debris clean-up, and a planting request, though responses to these nature-related matters have been mixed, with two remaining open as of September 2025. The property has also experienced some maintenance and safety concerns, as indicated by a water lead testing kit request and a leak inspection request in 2025, with the latter having been resolved. The building's 311 service request history shows regular interactions with city services, though none of the requests appear to pertain directly to the building's internal systems or structure. The pattern of service requests over time indicates particular attention to exterior and common area maintenance, especially regarding tree management in recent months.

Risk rating

How 5019 W George St 1'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.
