Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4654 N Central Ave in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Arcelia Bautista, has a recorded history dating back to its 1906 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of nine service requests through the 311 system, all of which have been resolved. The most recent incidents, occurring between January and April 2026, include a street pothole complaint and two separate blue recycling cart requests, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain proper waste management. Notably, there were two tree emergency situations reported in July 2025, one through the Alderman's office and another through standard 311 City Services, which may have temporarily impacted the property's environment. Earlier, in April 2025, there was a complaint regarding fly dumping in the vicinity, though this appeared to be an external issue not directly related to the building's operation. While the property's service request history shows regular municipal interactions, none of the reported issues appear to directly impact building safety or habitability, and all matters have been duly closed out by the appropriate authorities.

Risk rating

How 4654 N Central 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

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.
