AI summary

The six-unit residential building at 5734 W Belle Plaine Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by R & B Rogalski, has been in operation since 1930 and has generated a total of 14 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests occurred between June and July 2025, primarily focusing on tree maintenance and weed removal, with three tree trim requests and one weed removal request being processed and closed. Prior to these, in October 2024, three sign repair requests were submitted and subsequently closed, though it's worth noting that these were all classified as "All Other Signs" repair requests, providing limited insight into the specific nature of the issues addressed. The building's 311 service request history shows consistent maintenance needs over the past several years, with no reported emergencies or safety-related incidents on record, though the frequency of tree-related service requests in 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with vegetation maintenance in the building's vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5734 W Belle Plaine 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.
