AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4101 W 21st Street in North Lawndale, owned by Hosie Fletcher, has a documented history spanning several years since its construction in 1924. The property has generated 12 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in 2025 and 2026. Notable recent activity includes three separate abandoned vehicle complaints on April 9, 2025, though it's unusual for multiple complaints to be filed in such close proximity. The building has also required typical municipal services such as yard waste pickup (June 2026), graffiti removal (April 2026), and a stop sign repair (March 2026). While these service requests indicate some level of municipal engagement, they primarily relate to street and sanitation matters rather than building-specific issues, and all have been recorded as closed, suggesting resolution of the reported matters. The frequency and nature of the requests appear to reflect general neighborhood maintenance needs rather than any building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 4101 W 21St 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

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.
