Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4011 W Lexington Street in Garfield Park, owned by Sequoia Properties LLC, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1903. Over the past seven years, there has been minimal maintenance and service activity on record, with only one 311 service request noted in October 2025 regarding garbage cart maintenance, which was subsequently closed. However, a more comprehensive look at the property's record shows that the owner has maintained relatively active engagement with municipal services, with a total of 31 service requests filed under their name during this period. The building's permit history reveals three permits requested in the past seven years, while records indicate nine building violations associated with the ownership group, suggesting some level of regulatory noncompliance has occurred. The owner holds title to five parcels in total, and their overall record shows four building permits requested across their properties in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that not all permits may have been directly associated with the Lexington Street address.

Risk rating

How 4011 W Lexington 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.

Neighborhood percentile
53rdpercentile
