Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5634 W Grace St in Portage Park, owned by Charlie A Barrios, was constructed in 1913 and has experienced a notable series of maintenance and service issues in recent months as of 2026. The property, which has had 21 documented service requests over the past seven years, most recently shows concerning patterns in early 2026, with multiple open and closed cases related to waste management and infrastructure problems. Of particular note are two ongoing issues as of June 2026: an open garbage cart maintenance request and a sewer cave-in inspection request. Additionally, there was a water in basement complaint filed with the Alderman's office in April 2026. Earlier in March 2026, the building experienced multiple service requests, including a rodent baiting/rat complaint, and both blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance issues. While the building has a long history dating back over a century, the recent clustering of service calls, particularly related to waste management and infrastructure concerns, suggests there may be current challenges affecting the property and its residents.

Risk rating

How 5634 W Grace 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.
