AI summary

The 4-unit residential building at 4259 S Sacramento Ave in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood is a two-story structure dating back to 1925, currently owned by Juan A Alameda. The property's service record over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of 311 service requests, with a total of seven documented incidents since 2016. The most recent complaints, all recorded in March 2026, involve issues with lighting in the vicinity of the property, specifically an alley light outage and a street light outage, both of which have been marked as closed. Prior to these lighting complaints, there was a notable clustering of graffiti-related incidents around the property; between September 2025 and March 2026, there were four documented requests for graffiti removal, with three of these occurring within a one-week period in September 2025, including one specifically routed through the Alderman's office. While all reported issues have been resolved as indicated by their closed status, the frequency of graffiti removal requests and recent lighting concerns suggest ongoing maintenance requirements in the property's immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 4259 S Sacramento 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

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.
