Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2813 W Fifth Avenue in Garfield Park, owned by Mariano Lettieri, was constructed in 1907 and has maintained relatively low incident rates over the past seven years. The property has only two total parcels under its ownership and has recorded one building violation during this period. Interestingly, there appears to be a discrepancy in the 311 service requests count, as the record shows 14 requests under owner total 311 service requests but only one documented case from June 2025, which was a water on street complaint handled by the Department of Water Management and subsequently closed. This service request represents the building's most recent recorded issue, though it occurred well beyond the standard 7-year observation window for most service records. While the historical data shows minimal documented problems with this property over the past several years, the limited available information should be considered in the context of potentially incomplete records rather than as definitive proof of building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2813 W Fifth 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.

Neighborhood percentile
72ndpercentile

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
