Portage Park, Chicago IL 60634 13173150440000 2 units · 1923

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4136 N McVicker Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, built in 1923 and currently owned by Marivel Aguilar, has experienced a notable pattern of service requests over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of incidents in 2026 included a tree emergency, a street light outage, and two separate leak inspection requests, all of which have been resolved. In prior years, there was a rodent control issue in August 2025 and a tree debris clean-up request in May 2025, both of which were addressed. Looking further back in history, the building had an air pollution-related complaint filed in August 1993, though there are no other environmental issues on record since then. The property's service request history, totaling 14 incidents over seven years, shows regular maintenance and emergency issues requiring city services, with a particular concentration of incidents in early 2026 and notable attention to outdoor infrastructure and environmental matters.

Risk rating

How 4136 N Mcvicker 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.
