Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 4320 W 55th Street in West Elsdon, owned by Esther Ruiz, has been standing since 1957 and has maintained a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling seven documented incidents. Most notably, the property is currently awaiting results from a water lead test kit request submitted in September 2025, which is a critical matter of public health concern. The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges in recent months, with three separate pothole complaints filed in July 2025, though all of these were subsequently closed. Earlier this year, in April 2025, there was also a complaint regarding low water pressure that has since been resolved. Additionally, there was one tree emergency reported in May 2026 that was promptly addressed and closed. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for this period, the presence of current and recent infrastructure and water quality issues merits attention, particularly with regards to the active water lead testing situation.

How 4320 W 55Th St 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.
Out of 428 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 are predicted to be safer.
