Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5806 W Dakin St in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Frank Taliaferro, has been standing since 1910 and has generated 16 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent complaint, recorded in April 2026, was regarding a pothole in the street, which followed a pattern of similar street maintenance issues with three additional pothole complaints in January 2026 alone, plus one in December 2025. Earlier in the record, there were concerns about street infrastructure, including a water issue on the street in August 2025 and a street light outage in June 2025, both of which were subsequently addressed and closed. The concentration of street-related complaints, particularly in 2025-2026, suggests ongoing public infrastructure challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property, though these issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels according to the closed status of each complaint.

Risk rating

How 5806 W Dakin St'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
