Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5140 W Roscoe Street in Portage Park, constructed in 1924, is currently owned by Kazimiera Koziel. The building has experienced two significant complaint-driven inspections in November 2024, both of which were resolved, indicating prompt attention to whatever issues prompted these inspections. In terms of maintenance and neighborhood concerns, there have been five 311 service requests in the past seven years. Most recently, there is an open alley pothole complaint from May 2026, while previous issues including an abandoned vehicle complaint (November 2025), a missed garbage pick-up complaint (June 2025), and a tree trimming request (May 2025) have been successfully resolved. Additionally, there was one building violation reported through the 311 system in July 2024 which was also closed, though these violations appear to be unrelated to the later resolved complaint-driven inspections. The building's violation and service request history suggests typical urban residential challenges, though the most recent building-related issues have been promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 5140 W Roscoe 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.
