Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4872 W Homer St 2 in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1926 structure currently owned by Marco Rodriguez. The building's recent service history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only five documented 311 service requests directly related to the building itself. The majority of the recent service requests (four out of five) were concentrated in the latter half of 2024, including two separate parking code enforcement reviews and a garbage cart maintenance request in September, along with an information-only call to 311 in April of that year. Additionally, the property owner, Marco Rodriguez, has an extensive record of 23 total 311 service requests across two parcels over the same seven-year period, though most of these requests do not appear directly related to the apartment building itself. An earlier tree trim request from March 2026, though submitted for the property, is no longer being accepted under the current 311 system.

Risk rating

How 4872 W Homer St 2'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.
