Initial analysis

The three-flat residential building at 4146 W Wilcox Street in Garfield Park, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Cynthia Robinson, has experienced several notable issues over the past two years that warrant attention. Most concerning is the recent vacancy status, with an open complaint filed in June 2026 regarding a potentially abandoned condition. The property has had recurring moisture problems, evidenced by two identical water-in-basement complaints filed and subsequently closed in January 2026, and a plumbing violation recorded and resolved in August 2024. The building has also faced challenges with pests and exterior maintenance, with rat complaints and weed removal requests both submitted and closed in June 2026. While the property has generated only seven service requests in the past seven years, the concentration of recent issues—particularly the open vacancy complaint and repeated water-related problems—suggests building systems and maintenance require closer monitoring.

Risk rating

How 4146 W Wilcox St'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.
