Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4213 S Artesian Ave in the Brighton Park neighborhood, owned by Ilse W Strick, has a recorded history dating back to its construction in 1903. The property has generated a total of eight documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in April 2026, involving both a nuisance animal complaint and an open pet wellness check request. These two recent incidents suggest ongoing concerns related to animal welfare in or around the property. The building's service request history also includes infrastructure-related issues such as a street light outage in May 2025 and a blue recycling cart matter in April 2025, both of which have been resolved. Notably, two abandoned vehicle complaints were filed in November 2024, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or management. While the property's recent service request history is relatively limited, the most pressing and recent concerns pertain to animal-related issues. The only historical environmental complaint on record, dating back to July 1998, involved illegal dumping and was accompanied by a work order, though this incident is now significantly outdated and likely irrelevant to current conditions.

Risk rating

How 4213 S Artesian 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.
