AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 4700 W Waveland Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood has been in existence since 1907 and is currently owned by S Szutnik. Over the past seven years, there have been six documented 311 service requests associated with the property, with the most recent being a 311 information-only call in June 2026. The majority of the recent complaints have centered around street maintenance issues, particularly in early 2026, with three separate pothole complaints filed within a short time frame in February 2026 and another pothole complaint in April 2024. Other exterior maintenance issues noted in the service requests include a garbage cart maintenance request in February 2026 and a do-not-enter sign repair request in July 2025, both of which have been resolved. While the building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to reported issues, it's worth noting that the majority of documented service requests in recent years have been related to street infrastructure rather than the building itself, suggesting that most area-specific concerns have been appropriately directed to the relevant city departments for resolution.

Risk rating

How 4700 W Waveland Ave'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.
