Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5512 W Fullerton Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Maria O Moreno, has a documented history dating back to its 1928 construction. The most recent incidents, which occurred in late 2024 through early 2025, involved nuisance and vandalism issues, including two separate graffiti incidents in August 2024 and a nuisance animal complaint in December 2025, though all these recent 311 service requests have been marked as closed. Looking further back, the building's history reveals environmental concerns, with noise and air pollution complaints recorded in 2004, 2007, and 2010, though these issues also appear to have been resolved. The limited number of service requests over the past seven years- totaling just three- suggests relative stability, though the nature of the incidents points to occasional urban neighborhood challenges that have affected the property.

Risk rating

How 5512 W Fullerton 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.
