Initial analysis

The property at 446 W 42nd St in New City, built in 1879 and currently owned by Jeschel Nevarez, has a documented history of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 12 incidents. The most recent service requests from 2025 indicate a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance concerns, with reported issues including water quality concerns, a vacant/abandoned building complaint, a building violation, and a tree emergency. Earlier in 2025, there were also requests related to sewer cleaning inspections and a street pothole complaint. While all documented service requests have been closed, the concentration of issues in 2025, particularly the water quality concern and building violation, stand out as significant matters regarding resident safety and infrastructure maintenance. The building's total service request count of 12 over seven years, while not excessively high for a structure of its age, does suggest periodic maintenance and infrastructure challenges that have required municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 446 W 42Nd 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.

Neighborhood percentile
