Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5430 W Sunnyside Ave in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Edward Cnoto, was constructed in 1952 and has been in operation for more than seven decades. The property's documented service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 12 recorded incidents, with the most recent occurring in September 2025. The requests have primarily centered around street maintenance and parking enforcement issues, with three parking code enforcement reviews conducted in September 2024 and one in August 2024, suggesting potential ongoing concerns in that area. Other service requests include a tree planting request (September 2025), tree debris clean-up (July 2025), and a closed request for garbage cart maintenance (January 2025). While the building's service request history doesn't indicate any major structural or safety concerns, the recurring nature of parking-related issues in 2024 merits particular attention as they may impact resident convenience and access. The most recent service request regarding tree planting, which remains open, could represent either an improvement initiative or maintenance requirement for the property's exterior space.

Risk rating

How 5430 W Sunnyside Ave 1'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.
