Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5226 S Long Ave in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood is a 1921 structure currently owned by CTLTC 8002372790. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests to the 311 system over the past seven years, with a notable cluster of recent activity in August 2025. This recent surge in service requests, totaling five within a single day, appears to be centered around finance parking code enforcement issues, suggesting some ongoing concerns or confusion regarding parking regulations in the area. Additionally, there were separate service requests in August 2025 for garbage cart maintenance and a dead animal pick-up, both of which have been marked as closed. While the building has had regular 311 service interactions, the majority of requests outside the recent cluster were not detailed in the provided data, making it challenging to assess any broader patterns or historical issues.

Risk rating

How 5226 S Long 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
99thpercentile
