Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4537 S Richmond St in Brighton Park, owned by Rachael A King, has been in operation since 1937 and is currently listed under one parcel. The property has experienced six documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent and potentially concerning issue being a consumer fraud complaint and reports of water in the basement, both logged in October and August of 2025 respectively. The building's service request history shows a significant cluster of yard waste pick-up requests in 2024, with three such requests recorded between May 2nd and May 24th, suggesting either seasonal maintenance challenges or active resident participation in waste management services. A general information request was also filed in April 2025. While the relatively low number of service requests over this extended period could be interpreted as a positive indicator, the nature and timing of the recent complaints regarding water issues and consumer fraud in late 2025 warrant attention as the building's most pressing documented concerns.

Risk rating

How 4537 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.
