Belmont Cragin, Chicago IL 60639 13322040050000 3 units · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5747 W Fullerton Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Maximum Properties LLC, has been standing since 1925. The property has a relatively modest service request history over the past seven years, with a total of 15 complaints recorded under the ownership of Maximum Properties LLC across two parcels, though the majority of these (10 out of 15) appear to be related to tree debris clean-up in 2024-2026. The building's most recent recorded issues include two instances of tree debris clean-up requests (2024 and 2026), a fly dumping complaint (April 2024), a street light outage complaint (July 2024), and a pothole complaint in the adjacent alley (September 2025). While all reported issues have been resolved according to the 311 service records, it's worth noting that the concentration of tree debris-related complaints suggests this may be an ongoing issue requiring regular attention. The age of the building (98 years as of 2023) is typical for the neighborhood, and aside from the specific service requests mentioned, there are no recorded safety incidents or major structural concerns in the available data.

Risk rating

How 5747 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.
