Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5510 W Kamerling Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Theodore Standley, was constructed in 1951 and has a relatively limited record of service requests over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred in early March 2025, when multiple service requests were made regarding potential water-related issues, including three separate leak checks and a complaint about water on the street. Additionally, there were two information-only calls made to 311 services during the same period. These recent water-related concerns, occurring in close proximity to one another, represent the most significant cluster of service requests on record for this property and warrant attention to the building's water infrastructure. Prior to these March 2025 incidents, there are no documented service requests in the available records, suggesting that the building has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past several years, though this should be considered within the context of the limited data available through the 311 system.

Risk rating

How 5510 W Kamerling 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.
