Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5511 W Eddy St in Portage Park, owned by Nina M Peters, has been standing since 1938 and has recently experienced some concerning maintenance issues in 2026. Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing rodent problem in the vicinity, with three separate rodent baiting/rate complaints filed between April and June 2026. The property has also faced challenges related to waste management, as evidenced by a fly dumping complaint in April 2026, along with two other service requests for street maintenance and yard waste pick-up during the same period. While the building itself is not directly responsible for city street conditions or waste management in public areas, these recent incidents suggest a neighborhood experiencing some sanitation challenges earlier in 2026. Over the past seven years, a total of 20 service requests have been filed under the owner's name, though specific details of prior complaints are not provided in this summary.

Risk rating

How 5511 W Eddy 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

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.
