AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4445 S Richmond St in Brighton Park, owned by Ramon Vega, is a 1925 construction that has generated eight service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most recently, in April 2026, there were service requests related to garbage and recycling cart maintenance, while February 2026 saw two tree trimming requests filed during a period when such requests were no longer being accepted. The most notable cluster of incidents occurred in December 2025, with two separate reports regarding abandoned vehicles, both of which have since been resolved. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a two-unit building over this timeframe, the records indicate primarily routine municipal service matters rather than urgent maintenance or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 4445 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
