AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5239 W Hutchinson St 2 in Portage Park, owned by Josephine Ann Martinel, has a relatively clean service record over the past seven years. Built in 1913, this two-flat property has had minimal documented issues, with only two reported service requests during this period. Both incidents occurred in July 2025, involving tree-related matters - specifically, an emergency situation followed by a debris clean-up request, both of which have since been closed. It's worth noting that these were external environmental issues rather than problems directly related to the building's structure or systems, and both were addressed and resolved by city services. The property's record shows no pattern of recurring issues or significant resident safety concerns, with no reported service requests for infrastructure, maintenance, or safety matters in recent years.

Risk rating

How 5239 W Hutchinson St 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.
