Hermosa, Chicago IL 60639 13342050390000 6 units · 1927

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 six-unit residential building at 4103 W Fullerton Ave in Hermosa, built in 1927 and currently owned by Gerardo Santillanes, has a documented history of service requests and environmental issues spanning several decades. Most recently, in 2026, there were multiple service requests in May, primarily related to fly dumping incidents (with three separate complaints) and a tree emergency, followed by an abandoned vehicle complaint. A snow-related sidewalk clearance issue was reported in December 2025. The building's environmental history shows significant concern in July 1994 when multiple air pollution and hazardous materials complaints were filed, resulting in four municipal prosecution tickets, each with a $1,600 fine, under various code violations related to environmental safety. Earlier complaints from 1993 also indicate issues with toxic hazardous materials and improper permits. While the building's recent history shows primarily minor municipal service requests, the clustering of fly dumping complaints in 2026 and the historical environmental violations from the 1990s are notable points of record.

Risk rating

How 4103 W Fullerton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
16thpercentile
