The three-flat residential building at 4117 W Harrison St in Garfield Park, owned by Josephine Davis, is a century-old property constructed in 1901. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced multiple compliance and maintenance issues, with a total of two building code violations and five 311 service requests recorded against the property. Notably, in 2025, two complaint-driven inspections were conducted, resulting in violations that were subsequently resolved. More recent activity in 2026 includes an open building violation request from May 15, along with a completed lead inspection request from the same date. The property's maintenance history also shows attention to external upkeep, with closed requests in 2025 for garbage cart maintenance and weed removal in July and August, respectively, as well as a closed building violation request from November 25, 2025. The owner, Josephine Davis, manages two parcels associated with this address, and the record shows a significantly higher number of service requests (22) associated with the owner directly, compared to the building's recorded service requests, though not all may be directly related to this specific address or building.

Risk rating

How 4117 W Harrison 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

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.
