AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 5356 W Cuyler Ave in Portage Park, owned by Joseph Angelastri, has been standing since 1913 and has generated a total of 11 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent service requests from 2026 include a water lead test kit request and an open abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which warrant attention. Earlier in 2026, there were several completed requests, including a tree debris cleanup and two blue recycling cart requests, one of which was handled through the Alderman's office. The building's 311 service request history shows relatively few issues requiring municipal intervention, with most cases being routine matters such as recycling services and external maintenance. The presence of both an open water lead test kit request and an open abandoned vehicle complaint are the most notable current concerns, though it should be noted that the building's record includes only two open cases, with the majority of previous requests having been resolved.

Risk rating

How 5356 W Cuyler 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

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.
