Initial analysis

The property at 4957 W Superior St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1908 multi-parcel building currently owned by Grappler Properties. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 64 service requests logged through the city's 311 system, with 15 building violations recorded against the property during this period. The most recent service requests in 2026 have primarily focused on tree maintenance, with two closed requests for tree trimming in May, and an abandoned vehicle complaint in March 2026. There is currently an open request from February 2026 regarding sidewalk inspection, which may be worth monitoring for resolution. The building's service request history also includes two stop sign repair requests - one in November 2025 (Street and Sanitation) and an earlier one in July 2024 (Department of Transportation), both of which were successfully closed. While the building has experienced some building violations over the past seven years, the nature of the recent 311 requests suggests most recent issues have been related to external infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4957 W Superior St 1St'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.

Neighborhood percentile
