Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4120 W Cullerton St in North Lawndale, owned by Shore Properties Group, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced relatively few documented incidents over the past seven years. The property has one unresolved building code violation related to a permit inspection from February 2020, which stands out as the sole active concern among the building's documented history. The building's service request record is modest, with a total of five 311 service requests filed in this period, all of which have been resolved. These requests primarily concerned routine maintenance matters such as recycling and garbage cart issues (three requests in total between April and November 2025), a tree emergency (June 2026), and a stray animal complaint (April 2025). While these service requests indicate some attention to waste management and occasional maintenance needs, they are generally considered standard urban property concerns and do not suggest any significant building safety or habitability issues.

Risk rating

How 4120 W Cullerton 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
