Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4110 W Grenshaw St in North Lawndale, owned by Alma V Pittman, is a 1910 structure that has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of January 2024, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections, which suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that may affect resident safety and building conditions. Additionally, there was an open building code violation from April 2021 that remains unresolved. The property has generated a total of 22 service requests to the 311 system over the past seven years, though only three were recorded in the past year, including a stray animal complaint and issues related to garbage services (missed pick-up and cart maintenance), all of which have been closed. While the building's 311 service requests mostly pertain to municipal service matters rather than structural or safety concerns, the high number of unresolved building code violations is particularly noteworthy. The owner, whose portfolio includes three parcels in total, has a documented history of nine building violations across their properties in the past seven years, though the majority appear to be concentrated in the Grenshaw St address.

Risk rating

How 4110 W Grenshaw 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
