Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5405 W Byron St in Portage Park, owned by Eman nuel & M DeJesus, has been standing since 1908 and has experienced a relatively typical pattern of municipal interactions over the past seven years. The property has two documented building code violations from 2019, both related to permit inspections, though records indicate these were resolved satisfactorily. The building's service request history shows more recent activity, with the most recent requests in December 2025 relating to recycling pickup and tree trimming, while a tree planting request remains open from August 2025. The property has also required multiple cart maintenance services in 2025, including requests for blue recycling carts and garbage cart maintenance, all of which have been closed except for one blue recycling cart request from July 2025. Compared to many similar properties, the building's violation and service request history is relatively minimal, with only two building code violations recorded over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the most recent service requests show concentrated activity in cart and tree-related matters during 2025.

Risk rating

How 5405 W Byron 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.
