Initial analysis

The six-unit, 1888 vintage apartment building at 4245 W Maypole Avenue in Garfield Park, currently owned by REOR Maypole LLC, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one building code violation and three 311 service requests documented during this period. The most significant and concerning item on record is a complaint-driven inspection that resulted in an unresolved building code violation as of February 2023, representing the building's only documented violation in recent years. While the property has had three 311 service requests, these were primarily related to external issues such as abandoned vehicles and fly dumping in the vicinity, with all these complaints being resolved through proper channels. The most recent of these service requests was from April 2026 for an abandoned vehicle complaint, though it should be noted that this date appears to be in the future based on the current date (October 2023) and may represent an entry error in the records. The building's overall limited number of violations and service requests over this extended period suggests relatively stable property management, though the open building code violation from early 2023 warrants attention as the most significant resident concern on record.

Risk rating

How 4245 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.

Neighborhood percentile
15thpercentile

Out of 3998 buildings in this neighborhood, 3398 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
