AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4626 S California Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Rogelio Morales, has been standing since 1913. Over the past seven years, the property has generated four documented 311 service requests, with all of them being resolved and marked as closed. Notably, three of these requests were related to street infrastructure issues in 2025-2026, including a street cleaning request, a street light outage complaint, and a pothole complaint, all of which were directed to the Chicago Department of Transportation. The fourth request was a basic information inquiry made to the city's 311 services in May 2024. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period, combined with their nature as primarily infrastructure-related issues rather than building-specific concerns, suggests that there have been no major building-specific complaints or incidents reported against this property in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4626 S California 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.
