Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4512 N Lapore Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Piatek Series LLC, has a documented history dating back to its 1925 construction. The property has experienced several notable concerns in recent years, with a particularly concerning pattern of rodent-related issues. Between October 2024 and July 2025, there were four documented rodent baiting/complaints that required intervention, all of which have been closed but suggest an ongoing pest management challenge in the vicinity. Additionally, there were two tree removal inspection requests in July 2025, one of which was completed, indicating potential maintenance or safety concerns regarding vegetation on or near the property. The building's only recorded code violation in the past seven years occurred in February 2021, and remains unresolved as of the most recent data, though its nature and impact on resident safety or comfort is not specified in the available records. While the building has had multiple service requests requiring attention, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been addressed or closed, though the persistence of rodent-related complaints suggests this may be an ongoing concern.

Risk rating

How 4512 N Laporte Ave 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.
