AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 4140 W Barry Ave in Avondale, owned by YMX Investments Inc., was constructed in 1915 and has had minimal documented service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five 311 service interactions on record. The most recent concerns, dating from 2025-2026, have primarily focused on pet-related issues, including two wellness checks and one nuisance animal complaint, with the most recent pet wellness check still listed as open. Prior to these pet-related incidents, there were two tree-related service requests in July 2024, one concerning an emergency situation and the other regarding debris clean-up, both of which were resolved. While the building's documented service history is relatively sparse, the concentration of recent incidents involving animals and the singular focus on pet welfare in the most recent requests may suggest specific neighborhood concerns during that period, though the nature of these requests appears to be more related to community and environmental issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 4140 W Barry Ave 1St'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.
