AI summary

The two-unit residential building located at 4421 W Iowa St in Humboldt Park, owned by AB Realty Partners, has been standing since 1925 and has had minimal recorded service requests over the past seven years. The building's 311 service request history is quite sparse, with only five documented incidents since 2016, all of which have been resolved. The most recent service requests, spanning from February 2024 to February 2025, primarily involved issues unrelated to the building's condition or safety, including three reports of abandoned vehicles and one request regarding the blue recycling cart. Notably, one of the complaints in June 2024 concerned a vicious animal, which may have had the most immediate impact on resident safety, though the department's response and resolution details are not available in the provided data. The relative lack of building-specific complaints over the past seven years could suggest either effective property management or limited reporting systems, though it's important to note that the most recent two service requests occurred less than one year ago.

Risk rating

How 4421 W Iowa St 1'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.
