Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4828 W Wabansia Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1922 structure currently owned by Nathan Thomas. The building's record over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one service request filed through the city's 311 system during this period. This single reported issue, which occurred in September 2025, was related to a street light outage and has since been documented as closed. The limited number of service requests on record, particularly over such an extended timeframe, suggests relatively stable conditions at this property, though it is important to note that this only represents official complaints filed through the 311 system and may not capture all building conditions or incidents.

Risk rating

How 4828 W Wabansia 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

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.
