Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5308 W Addison St in Portage Park, owned by Debra Sue Quintana, has maintained a relatively low record of service requests and permits over the past seven years. The building, constructed in 1950, has had a total of 10 service requests logged through the 311 system since 2015, with the majority of these (three) occurring in April 2026 and relating to tree trimming matters, and two recycling cart requests in the latter half of 2025. One additional service request from July 2025 concerned a dead animal pickup. The property has also required two building permits in the same seven-year period, though specific details about these permits are not provided in the available data. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building, it's worth noting that the most recent and only tree-related issues were logged in April 2026, though these requests were for services that are no longer being accepted.

Risk rating

How 5308 W Addison 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
