Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5300 S Talman Ave in the Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Orlando Gutierrez, is a 1913 structure that has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are five unresolved building code violations on record from January 16, 2020, all linked to complaint-driven inspections, which suggest an ongoing and potentially serious maintenance or safety-related situation. The property has also generated a substantial number of service requests to the city's 311 system, totaling 19 over the seven-year period, with the most recent pattern indicating a recurring problem with abandoned vehicles nearby. Between 2025 and 2026 alone, there were four abandoned vehicle complaints filed, three of which have been resolved while one remains open. Additionally, there was a street light outage reported and resolved in August 2025. The building's age, combined with the persistent nature of both the code violations and the recent service requests, indicates that there may be ongoing challenges related to property maintenance and neighborhood infrastructure around this address.

Risk rating

How 5300 S Talman 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
