Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 1908 multi-family building at 4301 W West End in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, currently owned by New Horizon Apts LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in 2026. Most notably, there are six unresolved complaint-driven building code violations that were documented on May 20, 2026, representing a significant and potentially ongoing safety or maintenance concern for the property. In addition to these open violations, the building has generated multiple 311 service requests in 2026, including two building violation complaints in April and March, and several other issues such as rat complaints and fly dumping incidents earlier in the year. The property has a total of 21 building code violations and 20 service requests on record over the past seven years, though these more recent issues appear to be the most pressing. The building's permit history shows only two permits issued in the past seven years, which could indicate limited recent maintenance or improvement activities.

Risk rating

How 4301 W West End Chicago'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.
