Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4039 W Crystal St in Humboldt Park, owned by Ivette Ares, was constructed in 1903 and has generated a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent activity, from May 2026, involves ongoing matters related to city services for blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance, though these are not necessarily indicative of serious concerns. Prior to these recent requests, there were multiple sanitation-related service calls in March 2026, including several garbage cart maintenance issues and a sanitation code violation, all of which have been resolved. A single information-only call was made to 311 in September 2025, which does not suggest any particular concern. While the building has had some recent sanitation-related service requests, particularly in the first quarter of 2026, it's important to note that many of these issues are related to routine municipal services rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 4039 W Crystal St'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.
