Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 4959 W Wrightwood in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Dalward J Debruzzi, is a 1926 structure that has experienced a notable pattern of service requests and code violations over the past seven years. Most concerning are three complaint-driven building code violations recorded in November 2021, though these were resolved. The property has generated a total of 33 service requests, with the majority occurring in recent years, including five sanitation-related issues and two abandoned vehicle complaints between late 2025 and early 2026. The building's maintenance record shows minimal permit activity, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, and only three permits associated with the owner. The total building violation count stands at three for the past seven years, while the owner has accumulated 29 violations across their properties. The presence of multiple sanitation code violations and the relatively low number of building permits suggest areas of potential maintenance concern, though most recorded issues have been promptly resolved.

Risk rating

How 4959 W Wrightwood 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

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.
