Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5915 S Richmond St in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, owned by Jose Martinez Garcia, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The property has generated a total of 33 service requests over the past seven years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring around 2025, when there were multiple incidents of water in the basement (two complaints in August 2025) and street light outages (two complaints in April 2025). More recently, in 2026, there were two complaints regarding potholes in the street, both of which have been resolved. The building's record shows only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which may suggest limited recent improvements or renovations to the property. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly with basement water intrusion and lighting concerns, addressed service requests indicate that the owner has responded to these infrastructure challenges as they arise.

Risk rating

How 5915 S Richmond St 1'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
