Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4932 W Gladys Ave in Austin, owned by Wubcco Properties LLC, dates back to 1909 and has experienced several noteworthy events in the past seven years. Most concerning is the recent cluster of unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on October 22, 2025, representing one of the most significant current issues affecting the property. The building has also had one unresolved complaint-driven inspection violation from August 2020, indicating a pattern of regulatory challenges. While the property has generated a total of 34 service requests to 311 over the past seven years, most of these (29 out of 34) were recorded between 2025 and 2026, suggesting heightened responsiveness or reporting activity in recent years. These service requests have primarily consisted of infrastructure-related issues, including multiple tree debris clean-up requests (November 2025) and weed removal requests (July 2025), as well as three reported abandoned vehicles (December 2025). The building's permit history is relatively minimal, with only three permits recorded in the past seven years, which could imply either limited major improvements or maintenance work during this period.

Risk rating

How 4932 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

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.
