Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4915 W Jackson Blvd in Austin, currently owned by Anthony T Barnes Jr, has a documented history dating back to its 1913 construction. Most notably, there is an alarming cluster of unresolved building code violations recorded on November 29, 2024, with six complaints that remain open under the "Complaint-Driven Inspection" category. This pattern of recent violations warrants attention as it suggests ongoing compliance issues. Additionally, the property has experienced two 311 service requests in the past two years: a fly dumping complaint in December 2025 and a street light malfunction (daytime operation) complaint in August 2025, both of which have been resolved. While historical data is limited to the past seven years, the current open violations from late 2024 represent the most significant and concerning aspect of the building's recent record, indicating potential challenges with maintaining building safety and code compliance.

Risk rating

How 4915 W Jackson Blvd 1'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.
