Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5024 W Eddy Street in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Ahmed M Sherif, has been standing since 1931 and has generated a total of nine documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The building's most recent six service requests from 2025-2026 show a varied pattern of issues, with three related to pet welfare (two wellness checks and one nuisance complaint), one concerning street infrastructure (a pothole complaint), and one regarding waste management (a blue recycling cart request). Notably, a water service complaint was recorded in January 2025, which could indicate an infrastructure concern, though this was subsequently marked as closed. While the service request history shows regular interactions with municipal services, with one to two requests per year on average, most issues appear to have been resolved promptly through standard city services. The age of the building and the nature of the service requests suggest typical urban living challenges, though the clustered nature of pet-related complaints in mid-2025 warrants attention from a resident experience perspective.

Risk rating

How 5024 W Eddy 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.
