Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4024 W Cermak Rd 2 in the North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by Nicole Bush, has been standing since 1912. Over the past seven years, there have been only two documented 311 service requests associated with the property, which is relatively low for a multi-unit building of this age. The most recent incident, recorded in November 2025, involved garbage cart maintenance and was successfully closed. Prior to that, in July 2024, there was an information-only call to the 311 services that was also resolved. The minimal number of service requests on record could suggest effective property management, though it's important to note that not all building issues necessarily generate 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 4024 W Cermak Rd 2'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.
