AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4802 N Menard Ave, located in the Portage Park neighborhood, has been owned by the Mary G Cole Living Trust since its construction in 1978. The property's service request history over the past seven years reveals a concerning pattern of tree-related issues, with three emergency tree situations documented between May 2024 and May 2025, all of which were subsequently resolved. More recently, in early 2026, there was a street light outage complaint that was closed, and as of early 2025, there is currently an open request for sidewalk inspection that remains unresolved. With a total of five service requests on record in the past seven years, while most have been addressed, the outstanding sidewalk inspection request could potentially impact resident safety and accessibility if it remains unaddressed.

Risk rating

How 4802 N Menard Ave'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.
