Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 4446 South Sawyer Avenue in Brighton Park, owned by Elizabeth Lopez, dates back to 1918 and is structured as a single parcel property. Over the past seven years, there has been minimal service request activity associated with the property, with only one documented 311 service request. This request, related to garbage cart maintenance, was filed on April 3, 2026, and has since been closed. The limited number of service requests on record might suggest either excellent property maintenance or potentially indicate that not all issues have been officially logged through the city's 311 system, though this is purely speculative. It's worth noting that the most recent service request on record (from 2026) falls outside the typical seven-year window mentioned in the building data, suggesting either a data anomaly or a potential error in the provided time frame.

Risk rating

How 4446 S Sawyer Ave 1'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.
