Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4534 S Rockwell Street in Brighton Park, owned by N Kulovitz 4594-9, has been standing since 1913 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property has generated five 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity involving finance parking code enforcement reviews in April 2026. A significant cluster of complaints occurred in 2024, including two rodent-related issues in July and August, and another finance parking code enforcement review in September, along with a building violation that same month. The building was also subject to an environmental enforcement case in February 2026 related to demolition and renovation requirements, specifically concerning asbestos abatement and dust control measures, though this case was ultimately dismissed with no fines imposed. While the property has had its share of maintenance and compliance challenges, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been marked as closed in the system.

Risk rating

How 4534 S Rockwell 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
