Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 4249 W Maypole Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Arthur Lockhart, was constructed in 1900. The property has experienced a notable number of building code violations and service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 12 violations and 40 service requests recorded under the current ownership. Most significantly, in July 2024, there was a batch of six complaint-driven building code violations, all of which have been resolved promptly. The building's history also shows a cluster of vehicle-related issues, with three abandoned vehicle complaints filed in April 2026 alone, following a similar complaint in December 2025. Additionally, there were two tree-related incidents reported in November 2025, including one emergency situation and one debris clean-up request, both of which were resolved. While the building has experienced multiple issues requiring municipal attention, it is worth noting that the majority of recent violations have been addressed in compliance, demonstrating responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 4249 W Maypole 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

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.
