Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 4450 W West End Ave in Garfield Park, constructed in 1903, has seen several notable events and issues over recent years. Most recently, in the fall of 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding rat complaints, as well as issues related to plumbing, garbage cart maintenance, and blue recycling cart concerns. These maintenance and hygiene-related problems indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep and sanitation. The property has two documented building code violations from permit-related inspections in 2020 and 2022, though both were resolved. On a broader scale, the owner of the property, "TAXPAYER OF," has substantial records across their total parcel ownership, including 2,228 building violations and 8,731 service requests over the past seven years across all properties, suggesting systemic issues within their management practices. Additionally, there have been 10 environmental enforcement actions and 33 environmental complaints associated with the owner's properties, along with three house share violations, though it is unclear which of these, if any, specifically pertain to the West End Avenue address.

How 4450 W West End Ave'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.
