Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5316 W Windsor Ave 2 in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Dolores G. Ciulla, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Built in 1956, this property has had two building code violations recorded in March 2022, both of which were resolved through complaint-driven inspections. The building's 311 service request history reveals nine documented incidents between 2024 and 2026, with three issues currently remaining unresolved as of October 2023: a building violation and an alley pothole complaint from May 2026, and a construction-related violation from September 2025. Other past service requests include a rodent baiting complaint (November 2024), a tree emergency (June 2025), and a parking code enforcement review (October 2024), with the majority of these issues having been properly addressed and closed. The concentration of service requests over time, particularly regarding building violations and environmental concerns such as rodent issues, merits attention, though it's notable that only two formal building code violations have been recorded in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 5316 W Windsor Ave 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.
