Initial analysis

The 74-unit building at 4039 N Laporte in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, currently owned by LAPORTE LLC, has a significant history of unresolved building code violations, with a particularly concerning pattern emerging in recent years. The property, constructed in 1933, has a total of seven building violations documented over the past seven years, with multiple open violations recorded in 2026 alone, including both complaint-driven and periodic routine inspections. This pattern of unresolved violations also spans back to 2021, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges. The building has generated 17 service requests through Chicago's 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent activities in January 2026 primarily relating to street maintenance issues such as potholes and snow removal, though one of these requests did pertain to a building violation. A historical noise complaint from 1993 is also on record, though its relevance to current conditions is limited given its age. The concentration of recent open violations and service requests indicates potential ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.

Risk rating

How 4039 N Laporte Chicago'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.
