Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4342 S Spaulding Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Wunhsiong Lu, has a relatively minimal record of incidents and complaints over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1925, has had only one 311 service request related to an abandoned vehicle, which was closed in April 2025. In mid-2023, there were two environmental complaints regarding construction and demolition activities, both filed on June 2 and subsequently resolved within three days by June 5. These were the only environmental complaints recorded for the property during the seven-year period. Notably, while the owner's record shows 16 total 311 service requests and 2 environmental complaints across three parcels, it's important to recognize that these numbers encompass all properties owned by Wunhsiong Lu and not just the spaulding Avenue address. The building's overall complaint history suggests minor issues, with the most significant recent events being the 2023 construction-related complaints, which appear to have been promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 4342 S Spaulding 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

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
80thpercentile
