AI summary

The three-unit building at 4031 N Whipple St in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a 118-year-old property currently owned by Marcial Arista. The building's recent service history over the past seven years shows an unusually low frequency of 311 service requests, with only two recorded instances in late 2024. Both of these requests, made within a week of each other in November 2024, were related to garbage cart maintenance - one through the City Services department and the other through the Alderman's office, both of which have since been closed. Given the minimal number of service requests over this extended period, with the most recent concerns being routine waste management issues, the building's maintenance record appears relatively stable, though the limited data set should be considered with caution.

Risk rating

How 4031 N Whipple 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.
