Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4059 W Barry Ave in Avondale, dating back to 1923, has displayed significant activity over recent years under the ownership of TAXPAYER OF. The property has generated substantial enforcement and service interaction, with 8,731 total 311 service requests recorded over the past seven years, including recent clustered parking code enforcement requests in May-June 2026. The building's record shows a concerning pattern of violations, with 2,228 building violations documented during the same period, suggesting persistent compliance challenges. Environmental concerns are also notable, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints, though these occurred over the entire seven-year period rather than being concentrated in recent months. The property has undergone 338 building permits, indicating regular maintenance or improvements, and has recorded three house share violations. While the recent service requests all pertain to parking code enforcement and have been resolved, the sheer volume of historical interactions with city services suggests a property that has required substantial regulatory oversight.

Risk rating

How 4059 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.
