Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5223 W Agatite Ave in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by James P Pericht, has been in existence since 1917 and has experienced regular municipal service interactions over the past several years. The property has generated a total of 34 service requests through the city's 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activities occurring in 2026, primarily related to waste management services. Between May and June 2026 alone, there were five service requests, including three yard waste pick-up requests, one information call to 311 City Services, and one abandoned vehicle complaint. Prior to this, there was a reported missed garbage pick-up incident in January 2026, and a yard waste pick-up request in October 2025. While the building has experienced multiple service requests, particularly related to waste management, there are no recorded incidents suggesting safety concerns or significant resident experience issues. The frequency of yard waste pick-up requests may indicate either a seasonal maintenance pattern or requirements for additional waste management services in the area.

Risk rating

How 5223 W Agatite 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.
