AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4441 W Congress Parkway in Garfield Park, owned by Congress Land Trust, was constructed in 1904 and has a relatively modest service record over the past 23 years. The property has generated a total of 12 service requests to the 311 system in the most recent 7-year period, with the majority of these occurring in 2025. The most notable recent activity includes multiple pet wellness checks and a business complaint in October 2025, as well as a restaurant complaint and a stray animal complaint in 2026, all of which have been resolved. Looking further back, the building was the subject of an illegal dumping complaint in 2000, though no subsequent environmental issues have been reported. The overall service request pattern suggests regular engagement with city services, primarily related to neighborhood and community matters rather than building-specific issues, with no recorded complaints directly related to the building's structure or systems in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4441 W Congress Pky'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.
