Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3818 S Wolcott Ave in McKinley Park, owned by Jose Rincon, has a documented history dating back to its 1893 construction. Most notably, there are three unresolved building code violations from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on February 3, 2021, which warrant attention as they may impact resident safety and comfort. The property has experienced several pest and animal-related issues in recent years, with the most recent incidents including a rodent baiting complaint in May 2026, a dead animal pick-up request in October 2025, and a nuisance animal complaint in May 2024, all of which were resolved. The building's owner has two total parcels listed under their name, and while the property has had a total of three building violations recorded in the past seven years, the owner has had significantly more service requests (13 in total) during this period, suggesting active engagement with city services despite the open building code violations.

Risk rating

How 3818 S Wolcott 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

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
