Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5102 W Sunnyside Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Christine R Wereski, was constructed in 1914 and has maintained a relatively low profile over the past seven years in terms of service requests and building permits. The property has generated three 311 service requests during this period, all of which have been resolved. Notably, two of these requests were related to street maintenance issues, specifically potholes, occurring in 2026 and 2025, both of which were addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation or the Alderman's office. The third service request, filed in 2024, concerned garbage cart maintenance and was handled by the Department of Streets and Sanitation. In addition to these service requests, there has been only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data. While the limited number of service requests and permits could suggest stable building conditions, it's important to note that these records only reflect a portion of the building's history and current condition.

Risk rating

How 5102 W Sunnyside 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.
