Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4304 W 55th Street in West Elsdon, owned by Bharat R Tanna and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable incidents over the past several years. Most concerning are two open building code violations recorded in March 2026, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. These violation records, categorized as complaint-driven inspections, suggest potential ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety or comfort. The property has generated significant municipal service activity, with 58 total 311 service requests attributed to the owner over the past seven years, including six requests regarding abandoned vehicles and one request for a blue recycling cart in March 2026. Prior to March 2026, the building's service history included two building code violations and 26 service requests in the previous seven-year period, indicating a pattern of municipal service interaction that warrants attention. The concentration of abandoned vehicle complaints during February-March 2026, totaling six reports, suggests a particular issue with parking or vehicle management in the immediate vicinity of the property, though these are external rather than internal building concerns.

Risk rating

How 4304 W 55Th 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.
