Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5756 W Grand Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Miguel & Maria Espino, has experienced various incidents and complaints over its history since being constructed in 1904. The most recent service requests from 2025-2026 suggest ongoing neighborhood concerns, including issues requiring finance parking code enforcement review, graffiti removal, business complaints, and rodent control measures. There were also two separate abandoned vehicle complaints logged in March 2025. Looking further back, the building's environmental record shows multiple incidents from 1995, including air pollution, permit investigations, and four municipal prosecution cases on June 23, 1995, for various code violations (4-4-010, 4-4-210, and 11-4-240), each carrying a $100 fine. An additional environmental complaint was recorded in July 2002, though no specific details are available in the records. While some of these issues are now dated, the clustering of service requests in recent years may indicate persistent neighborhood concerns around this property and its immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 5756 W Grand 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.
