Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5250 W Montrose Ave 2 in Portage Park, owned by Wilfredo Dacuycuy, is a 105-year-old structure dating back to 1918. The recent history of the property over the past seven years shows minimal issues requiring city intervention, with only two documented 311 service requests. The most recent of these, from May 2026, is an open request regarding a blue recycling cart, while the earlier complaint from July 2025 concerning an alley pothole was successfully resolved. Given the limited number of service requests and the age of the building, there appears to be relatively few maintenance or infrastructure issues on record, though the open status of the most recent request could indicate an ongoing concern regarding waste management facilities.

Risk rating

How 5250 W Montrose 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

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.
