Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5002 W Pensacola Ave 2 in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Perry & Alina Susral, has experienced a relatively limited number of maintenance and service issues over the past seven years, with a total of eight 311 service requests and only one building permit filed during this period. The most notable pattern in recent months includes three consecutive graffiti removal requests filed in late July 2025, suggesting a temporary increase in vandalism in the vicinity. Prior to these incidents, there were three additional service requests in April and March 2025, covering city services such as street cleaning, garbage cart maintenance, and sign repairs, all of which have been successfully closed. The building's documented history shows no major safety concerns or recurring maintenance issues, though the concentration of service requests in 2025 indicates recent activity requiring municipal intervention, particularly regarding exterior maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 5002 W Pensacola 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.

Neighborhood percentile
