Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4904 W Byron St 2nd in Portage Park, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by M Ledene & H Camden, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are two open complaints from May 2025 related to complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved. The property has maintained a relatively consistent pattern of service requests, with a total of 29 recorded in the past seven years, though not all have directly involved the building itself. The most recent cluster of service requests in 2026 suggests ongoing maintenance and environmental concerns, including two yard waste pick-up requests, one tree debris clean-up request, and two pothole complaints in April, all of which have been successfully closed. A tree removal inspection request from April 2026 remains open, indicating potential environmental management issues. Historically, there was one documented air pollution complaint in 2017 which was investigated but found to have no violation.

Risk rating

How 4904 W Byron St 2Nd'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

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.
