AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4832 W Erie Street in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Gilberto Portugues Jr., has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1908. Over the past seven years, the property has generated five 311 service requests, with the most notable recent issues occurring in 2026 when multiple no water complaints were reported in January, followed by an abandoned vehicle complaint in April of the same year. The building's service request history also includes two sanitation-related matters from February 2025, concerning blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance. Throughout this period, there has been only one building permit filed under the current ownership. While the property's documented issues are relatively few in number, the recurring water-related complaints in early 2026 and the limited record of building permits filed could warrant attention to the building's infrastructure and maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 4832 W Erie 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.
