Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4300 N Central Ave in Portage Park, owned by TSR PROP LLC, has maintained a relatively low record of complaints and service requests over the past several years. The 1957 structure, which sits on two parcels of land, has generated a total of 23 service requests and one environmental complaint from the owner over the past seven years. The majority of recent service requests, specifically between April and May 2026, have been concentrated on addressing street surface issues, with six separate pothole complaints filed during this period, all of which have been resolved. The building's environmental complaint history shows only two documented incidents: a construction-related complaint in July 2023 that was investigated and found to have no violations, and an air pollution complaint dating back to February 1993 that was addressed through a work order. The limited number of complaints and service requests over such an extended period, particularly during recent years, suggests stable property management practices, though it's worth noting that the most frequent and recent issues have all been related to street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 4300 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

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
