AI summary

The 8-unit residential building at 4316 W Hirsch Street in Humboldt Park, owned by Dorothy L Gaters, is a 1918 structure currently facing multiple challenges. As of April 2024, there are four unresolved building code violations related to a complaint-driven inspection that occurred in April 2024, marking the most recent and concerning issue affecting the property. The building's service request history from the past seven years shows a total of six 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in early 2024 including both plumbing and general building violation complaints, though these were subsequently closed. The property has experienced recurring problems with the surrounding infrastructure, as evidenced by three consecutive closed alley pothole complaints from December 2025 to April 2025, along with one closed vicious animal complaint in April 2025. While the building has had only one recorded building permit in the past seven years, the combination of current open violations and recent service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4316 W Hirsch 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.
