Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5843 W Gunneson St 2 in Portage Park, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by JSK, has had a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling just seven documented incidents. The most recent activity, as of January 2026, involves a shared cost sidewalk program request that remains open, indicating potential upcoming infrastructure improvements. The property has experienced several tree-related issues, with two emergency situations and subsequent debris clean-up both occurring in May 2025, though these were successfully resolved. A sanitation code violation was recorded and resolved in May 2024. Prior to these, there was one instance of garbage cart maintenance in January 2026, which has since been closed. The limited number of service requests and their generally routine nature suggests that while there have been some maintenance issues, particularly related to trees, there are no significant ongoing safety concerns currently affecting the property.

Risk rating

How 5843 W Gunnison St 2'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
