Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4757 N Milwaukee Ave in Portage Park, owned by Bruno Balata, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1906. The property has experienced persistent issues in recent years, with three unresolved building code violations recorded since 2019, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. Most notably, there are currently two open violations from November 2021 that remain unresolved. The building has also generated significant service requests through the 311 system, totaling 35 over the past seven years. The most recent and notable pattern of activity involves five consecutive graffiti removal requests between April and June 2026, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there is one building violation request from April 2026 that remains open. While the age of the building and its location suggest it has experienced typical urban wear and tear, the combination of unresolved building code violations and multiple graffiti incidents may be of particular interest to current and prospective tenants regarding resident experience and property maintenance.

Risk rating

How 4757 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.
