Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4821 S Springfield Ave in the Archer Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1926 and is currently owned by Yuri Jacobo, representing one of their total parcels. The building's recent service record over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with only three documented 311 service requests, all of which were recorded in early 2026. Notably, all three requests were related to tree maintenance issues, including two tree trim requests and one tree emergency, with the latter being the most significant in terms of potential impact on safety and resident experience. All three requests have been successfully closed, but it's worth noting that the tree trim requests were for services that are no longer being accepted as of when they were filed. Given the building's age and the relatively few number of service requests on record, the property's maintenance history appears to be relatively unremarkable, with no reported safety violations or other concerning patterns in the available data.

Risk rating

How 4821 S Springfield 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.
