AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4617 S Washtenaw Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Margarita Marquez, has maintained an overall positive record over its 110-year history. The three-story, brick-constructed building, dating back to 1913, has recorded only one service request through the city’s 311 system in the past seven years, which is notably low compared to typical urban property metrics. The single recorded service request was made in September 2024 for a tree removal inspection, which has since been closed. This request appears to be related to external property maintenance rather than indicating any structural or internal building issues. The building's service request history suggests regular maintenance and management, with no recorded complaints or concerns regarding resident safety or building conditions in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4617 S Washtenaw 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.
