Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4581 N Mulligan Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood is an approximately 105-year-old structure currently owned by J Koziara. Over the past seven years, there have been four documented 311 service requests associated with the property, with the most recent occurring in late 2025. The service requests have primarily related to municipal infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, including a garbage cart maintenance request, a tree trimming request (which is no longer being accepted), a street pothole complaint, and a sewer cleaning inspection request. All of these service requests have been marked as closed, indicating that the city has addressed these matters as they pertained to public services. Notably, there have been no documented building-specific complaints or safety concerns on record, and all service requests have been routine in nature, primarily involving municipal infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4581 N Mulligan 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.
