Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4203 W Gladys Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Tracy Abigale Ballack, was constructed in 2006 and has maintained a relatively low record of service requests over the past seven years, with only two documented incidents. Both reported incidents were related to rodent issues, specifically rat complaints requiring baiting, occurring in October 2024 and October 2025, with both cases being subsequently closed. The timing and nature of these pest-related incidents, while concerning, represent the building's entire documented service request history over the past seven years, suggesting that such occurrences may be limited to isolated instances rather than indicating an ongoing infestation problem. Given the building's relatively recent construction date and the low frequency of reported issues, the available records suggest generally stable building conditions, though the nature of the rodent complaints indicates potential environmental considerations warranting attention.

Risk rating

How 4203 W Gladys 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

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.
