Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5701 W Cornelia Ave in Portage Park, owned by Parkway Bank Trust 155, dates back to 1926 and is situated on two parcels of land. The property has maintained a relatively stable record over the past seven years, with a total of 26 service requests filed under the owner name. The most recent cluster of service requests between June and October 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance and community upkeep concerns, primarily focusing on waste management and sanitation issues, including multiple requests for garbage and recycling cart maintenance, recycling pickup, graffiti removal, weed removal, and a fly dumping complaint. While all these service requests have been closed, their concentration in mid-2025 indicates a period of increased attention to property maintenance and neighborhood upkeep. The building's historical records show no major incidents or violations that would significantly impact resident safety or experience, with the majority of recent service requests relating to routine maintenance and community quality-of-life issues rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 5701 W Cornelia 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
37thpercentile
