Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4040 W Barry Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 1926 construction currently owned by Sonia Patricia Cabrera. The building's recent service record from the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 Service Requests directly related to the property, both of which were submitted and resolved on October 9, 2024, concerning blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance - matters typically handled through the Alderman's office rather than building management. The owner, who holds two parcels of property, has generated a total of 13 service requests across their holdings in the last seven years, though only the two recent cart-related requests can be directly associated with this specific building. The overall service request history suggests relatively few issues requiring municipal intervention, with the most recent concerns being routine waste management matters rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 4040 W Barry 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
