Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 4958 N Milwaukee Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Joseph P Minogue, has been subject to regular oversight and maintenance requirements since its construction in 1924. The property underwent six periodic routine inspections between December 2019 and June 2020, all of which were resolved satisfactorily according to building code compliance records. The most recent seven-year period has seen a total of 11 service requests made through the 311 system, with the majority of recent activities (2025-2026) focused on graffiti removal in the surrounding area, with six such requests recorded between November 2025 and March 2026. There was also one street-related service complaint regarding a pothole in January 2026. Historically, the building had an environmental complaint filed in 2005 regarding air pollution, though there are no records of similar issues in the past 18 years. The property has maintained an active response to regulatory inspections and service calls, with all identified building code violations being resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 4958 N Milwaukee 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

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.
