Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5103 W Grace St in Portage Park is a 1911 structure currently owned by Frank Jordan. The property has recorded 6 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent two requests from 2026 and 2025 remaining open as of October 2023 - specifically a sign repair request and a sidewalk inspection request. The building's maintenance history shows a focus on external infrastructure, with three of the six requests related to sign maintenance (including a stop sign repair) and two sidewalk inspection requests. The only completed request from 2025 was for an alley light outage, which has since been resolved, along with a tree planting request from February of that year. While the property has required various external repairs and inspections, most notably regarding signage and sidewalk conditions, it's worth noting that many of these issues have been addressed promptly, with four out of six requests having reached resolution or closure.

Risk rating

How 5103 W Grace St 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.
