Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4245 W Augusta Blvd in Humboldt Park, owned by Remegio Valdez, has been standing since 1916 and has had a total of five recorded 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent incident occurred in June 2025 involving a report of an injured animal, while earlier in 2025 there was a general information request made to 311. The year 2024 saw two tree-related incidents, including both an emergency situation in April and an inspection request in August, though the specifics of these arboreal matters are not detailed in the records. Additionally, there was a sanitation code violation recorded in July 2024, which, like most of the other incidents, has since been resolved. It's worth noting that while the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building over this time period, the nature of these incidents suggests primarily external issues affecting the property rather than internal building system concerns.

Risk rating

How 4245 W Augusta Blvd 3'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.
