Portage Park, Chicago IL 60641 13214070070000 6 units · 1931

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 4952 W Roscoe St in Portage Park, owned by Roscoe Lavergne LLC, is a 1931 construction that has had limited municipal service interactions in recent years. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of nine 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The majority of these requests (six out of nine) pertained to street-related maintenance issues, including two sign repair requests (one in October 2024 and another in February 2025), a street light outage complaint (February 2026), and two tree-related requests (a planting request - currently open - in May 2026 and a closed trimming request from January 2026). The only two service requests that fell outside of these categories were an information-only call (June 2026) and a tree planting request (still open as of May 2026). Given the age of the building and the low frequency of service requests, combined with the nature of the complaints being primarily related to public infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, the property's maintenance record appears relatively stable, though the ongoing tree planting request is the only unresolved item on record.

Risk rating

How 4952 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.

Neighborhood percentile
22ndpercentile

Out of 3924 buildings in this neighborhood, 3061 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
