Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5801 W Addison St 1 in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood was constructed in 1961 and is currently owned by Sara Leyva. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past two years, with most recent service requests clustering around street-level concerns. Between March 2024 and October 2025, there were six documented 311 service requests, including three incidents requiring graffiti removal, one pothole complaint, one traffic signal issue, and one public way inspection request. While all these service requests have been closed, it's worth noting that the pattern of requests primarily relates to exterior and public infrastructure matters rather than issues directly related to the building's interior or systems. The relatively recent frequency of graffiti removal requests and the traffic signal complaint in the immediate vicinity may warrant attention to neighborhood safety, though these incidents occurred outside the building's direct infrastructure system.

Risk rating

How 5801 W Addison St 1'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.
