Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4203 S Washtenaw Ave 2 in Brighton Park, owned by Mario Rubio, has experienced significant water-related issues in recent months, with three consecutive water in basement complaints filed in July and one in June 2025, along with a sewer cleaning inspection request in June of the same year. The property, which dates back to 1905, has had a total of 12 service requests filed directly through 311 for this unit alone over the past seven years, with the current owner managing a total of 35 service requests across two parcels. While tree trimming requests were submitted in October 2024, it's worth noting these requests are no longer being accepted. The most pressing concerns for the property appear to be its ongoing water management challenges, as evidenced by the recent spate of basement water complaints and sewer-related issues, which represent the majority of service requests in the most recent period on record.

Risk rating

How 4203 S Washtenaw Ave 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.
