AI summary

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 4840 W Rice St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Archie and Hattie Wilson, has a recorded history spanning over a century since its construction in 1913. The property has had a minimal number of service requests in recent years, with only four documented 311 calls over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved. The most recent service request was made in May 2026 for tree debris cleanup, followed by a February 2026 report of an injured animal. Prior to these, there were two nature-related maintenance requests in 2025 and 2024, specifically for weed removal and tree trimming, respectively. It's worth noting that the tree trimming request was made for a service type that is no longer being accepted. While the building's maintenance record shows responsiveness to environmental and wildlife issues in the immediate vicinity, there have been no recorded security or maintenance concerns within the building itself, suggesting the property has been stable in terms of basic infrastructure and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 4840 W Rice St 2Nd'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.
