Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5132 W Altgeld St in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, with five documented 311 service requests since 2024 alone. Most recently, in August 2025, a tree planting request was submitted and subsequently closed. The property has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly in late summer 2024, when there were two consecutive missed garbage pick-up complaints (on August 22 and August 23), followed by a rodent baiting/rat complaint in September 2024. The building's recent history also includes requests for tree-related services, with both a tree removal inspection (August 28, 2024) and the aforementioned tree planting request. The property's single owner, Felix Sanchez Jr., has maintained possession of this 1923-built structure throughout these documented events, with no recorded violations or major safety concerns in the available data.

Risk rating

How 5132 W Altgeld 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.
