Initial analysis

The two-flat residential building at 5141 W Deming Place in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1921 property currently owned by Jose Capistran. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows relatively few major issues, with only one building code violation recorded during this period - a complaint-driven inspection from September 2020 that remains open and unresolved as of the most recent data. The property has generated minimal service requests through the 311 system, totaling three legitimate complaints over the past seven years. These complaints included two reports of abandoned vehicles (in March 2025 and March 2026) and one no water complaint (March 2025), all of which were properly closed through city services. It's worth noting that while the owner, Jose Capistran, has two total parcels registered, the records show a significantly higher number of total service requests (nine) attributed to the owner compared to the building itself - a discrepancy that may warrant further investigation for accuracy.

Risk rating

How 5141 W Deming Pl 2Flat'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.
