Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5103 W Hutchinson St in Portage Park, owned by Rodriguez, has been standing since 1913 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are three open violations from January 2023 and one from August 2023, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, indicating ongoing compliance issues that have not yet been resolved. The property has documented 14 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent group of requests between April and May 2026 primarily consisting of street-related issues such as potholes and multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (four complaints in total). A bee/wasp removal request filed in May 2026 represents the only recent building-related service request. The building's permit activity shows minimal engagement with city permitting processes over the same seven-year period, with only one permit recorded. While the property has generated various service requests, many appear to be related to neighborhood infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, though the concentration of complaints in 2023 and 2026 suggests periods of heightened concern.

Risk rating

How 5103 W Hutchinson St'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.
