Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4954 W Byron St in Portage Park, owned by Ambrocio Beltran, is a 124-year-old structure built in 1899. The building's recent maintenance and service request history from 2026 shows minimal property-specific issues, with only one building-related service request recorded this year: an open sewer cleaning inspection request from April 2, 2026. The majority of the 311 service requests (five out of seven) in 2026 have been related to street maintenance concerns, including three pothole complaints and an abandoned vehicle complaint, none of which directly reflect on the building's condition or management. The property has had three building permits issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature and current status of these permits is not detailed in the available records. Overall, the building's documented service history appears relatively stable, with no reported safety concerns or major maintenance issues directly related to the property itself.

Risk rating

How 4954 W Byron 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.

Neighborhood percentile
