Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5258 S Fairfield Ave in the Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Feliciano Narvaez Sr, has been standing since 1922 and is currently listed with the city as having one parcel. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in mid-2026. The building's 311 record shows clusters of similar issues, particularly in 2026 when there were three e-scooter parking complaints in April alone, followed by another such complaint in November 2025. Other recent incidents include a dead animal removal request in May 2026, which has since been resolved, and the most recent open request for tree debris cleanup from June 2026. While the frequency of service requests might suggest some ongoing neighborhood management challenges, it's worth noting that many of these complaints relate to external factors not directly related to the building's condition or management, such as e-scooter parking issues in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5258 S Fairfield 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
55thpercentile
