Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4933 W Iowa St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Chicago Title Land Trust, has a long and complex history dating back to its construction in 1913. Over the past seven years, the property has generated significant administrative activity, including 816 building violations and 2518 service requests, indicating ongoing management and maintenance challenges. The most recent cluster of service requests from late 2025 suggests particular concerns with sanitation and pest control, with multiple rodent-related and sanitation code violation complaints recorded in November 2025, along with garbage cart maintenance issues in October 2025. The property has also experienced environmental enforcement actions, with 5 violations and 13 complaints documented in the past seven years, though the most recent permits and service requests suggest some engagement with property maintenance through 134 building permits filed during this period. The building's current records show persistent challenges with basic infrastructure and sanitation maintenance, as evidenced by the frequency and nature of service requests, with the most pressing issues appearing to be concentrated around waste management and pest control.

Risk rating

How 4933 W Iowa St 2'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.
