4452 W Parker Chicago

Hermosa, Chicago IL 60639 13273030190000 12 units · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 4452 W Parker in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by John Burke, has been standing since 1924. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 14 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals various neighborhood-related concerns, including two consecutive parking code enforcement reviews in October 2024, an abandoned vehicle complaint in November 2025, and a nuisance animal complaint in December 2024, all of which have been resolved. Infrastructure-related issues recorded include a sewer cleaning inspection request and a water-related complaint in September 2024, suggesting some attention to the building's water systems during that period. The property has had three building permits issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. While the 311 service requests indicate regular engagement with city services, most issues appear to be neighborhood-related rather than specific building problems, and all reported incidents have been closed.

Risk rating

How 4452 W Parker Chicago'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.
