Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4418 W Thomas St in Humboldt Park, owned by Anita Garcia, has been standing since 1897 and has experienced several maintenance issues in the past few years. Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of water-related problems, with four separate leak-related service requests filed between late 2025 and early 2026, two of which required Department of Water Management involvement. The most recent of these leak investigations was opened in May 2026, suggesting that water-related concerns remain persistent. Additionally, there are two records from late 2025 related to water issues, including a street water complaint and another leak check request. Of particular note, there is currently an open request from March 2026 regarding tree removal inspection, though its connection to any building-related concerns is not specified in the records. While the building has had eight service requests recorded over the past seven years, the concentration of water-related issues in the most recent period is noteworthy, though all previous service requests had been closed by early 2026.

Risk rating

How 4418 W Thomas 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

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.
