Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4430 S Homan Ave in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, owned by Alberto Vargas, has been standing since 1925 and presents a concerning record of unresolved issues. The most significant area of concern is the cluster of six open building code violations, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on November 30, 2020. These violations, which remain unresolved as of October 2023, suggest persistent building code compliance issues that have not been addressed in nearly three years. The property's recent service request history includes two 311 calls in 2025, one regarding parking code enforcement which was resolved, and another concerning water issues on the street, which was also addressed. While there have been no documented building violations or 311 service requests in the past seven years prior to 2020, the concentration of unresolved violations from late 2020 and the recent service requests point to ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that could impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4430 S Homan 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.
