Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5226 W Parker Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Gloria Oropeza, was constructed in 1930 and has had several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations from June 14, 2022, resulting from a complaint-driven inspection that remain open as of the most recent records. The property has also seen multiple 311 service requests, with the most recent being a street light pole door missing complaint from June 11, 2026, which is still open. Other service requests include a similar street light pole door issue from May 2026 that was closed, a rodent baiting/rat complaint from November 2024 that was resolved, and two abandoned vehicle complaints from August 2024 that were also closed. While the building's age and location in Belmont Cragin are typical for the area, the combination of unresolved building code violations and the recurring nature of the street light pole issues may be of particular note for current and prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 5226 W Parker Ave 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.
