Initial analysis

The 31-unit residential building at 4135 W Roosevelt in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by JEK Development LLC, has experienced a significant number of unresolved issues in recent years. As of 2026, there are five open building code violations that were documented through complaint-driven inspections and periodic routine inspections between August 2025 and February 2026, suggesting ongoing compliance and maintenance challenges. The property has also been the subject of multiple service requests, with 18 filed through 311 services over the past seven years, including four persistent sanitation-related issues and two street light outages reported in May 2026 alone, with several of these issues remaining open as of the latest records. The building's permit activity shows only four permits filed in the past seven years, though the nature and scope of these permits are not specified in the available data. The concentration of recent open violations and service requests, particularly those related to sanitation and lighting, indicates potential concerns regarding building maintenance and the surrounding environment, though it's important to note that not all service requests necessarily relate to the building's condition itself.

Risk rating

How 4135 W Roosevelt Chicago'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
3rdpercentile
