Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1914-frame building at 4354 South Richmond Street in Brighton Park, currently owned by Shesen Lin, has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny over its vacant status between 2011 and 2012. During this period, the property was repeatedly cited for failing to secure and maintain a vacant building, resulting in three separate sets of violations between September 2011 and January 2012, with the October 2011 violations specifying the requirement for a watchman to secure the property. The legal outcomes varied: the September 2011 violations resulted in a non-suit with no fines, while the November 2011 and January 2012 violations defaulted with the owners being deemed liable, accumulating fines of $3,300 and $4,300 respectively. Collectively, these citations represent a total of $7,600 in fines for the property during this period, though it's important to note that there is no indication of any vacant building violations on record since January 2012, suggesting that the property may have returned to compliance.

Risk rating

How 4354 S Richmond St'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
57thpercentile

Out of 3962 buildings in this neighborhood, 1704 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
