Portage Park, Chicago IL 60630 13161050160000 2 units · 1916

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. 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 residential building at 4772 N Milwaukee Ave in the Portage Park neighborhood was built in 1916 and is currently owned by Solid Investment, which holds title to five parcels in total. The property's recent maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly in 2025, with seven documented graffiti removal requests, including one still open from June 2026. While graffiti on and around the property has been addressed multiple times, the frequency of these incidents suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has a documented history of one building violation in the past seven years, an open case from November 2013 related to improper process equipment operation instructions, though the specific impact on residents is unclear. An older administrative violation from 1998 was resolved with a $50 fine. The property has had minimal permit activity, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years, and no building-related service requests recorded during this period. While the building's age is considerable, the most pressing issues appear to be exterior maintenance concerns, as evidenced by the recent graffiti incidents, though most historical violations and complaints have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 4772 N Milwaukee 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.
