Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4827 W Gladys Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Antonio Hernandez, is a century-old structure built in 1908. The property has generated a significant number of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with records indicating 13 building violations and 74 311 service requests associated with the owner, though only seven of these requests originated from the building itself. Most recently, in late 2025, there were three consecutive abandoned vehicle complaints filed on November 17, all of which were subsequently closed. Earlier in 2025, there were several sanitation-related issues requiring attention, including a sanitation code violation on August 13, tree debris cleanup on August 7, and a clean vacant lot request on May 19, all of which have been resolved. While the building appears to have maintained basic operations, the cluster of service requests and violations suggests there may have been some sporadic management or maintenance challenges, particularly relating to exterior and sanitation matters.

Risk rating

How 4827 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
