AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5206 W Roscoe St in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Antonio Rivera, has a relatively clean service record over the past seven years. Built in 1965, this two-flat building has generated minimal concerns, with only one documented 311 service request during this period. The most recent and only service request on record was made in September 2024 regarding a rodent baiting/rat complaint, which has since been closed. While this pest control issue was addressed, it's worth noting that this is the building's sole recorded service request in the past seven years, suggesting either effective property management practices or potentially underutilization of city reporting channels for building concerns.

Risk rating

How 5206 W Roscoe 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.
