AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4538 S Mozart St in Brighton Park, owned by Maria Yolanda Pantoja, has been standing since 1921. The property has generated a total of four documented service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in February 2026. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of concerns, including environmental issues like tree maintenance (with a request made in February 2026), transportation concerns (abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2025), and water safety matters. Notably, two service requests were made in July 2024 - one regarding a water lead test kit, which remains open, and another concerning a leak check, which has been closed. The presence of the open water lead test kit request is particularly significant, suggesting potential ongoing concerns about water quality that may require attention.

Risk rating

How 4538 S Mozart 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.
