Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4213 S Union Ave 2 in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Julia F Troxell, is a 130-year-old structure built in 1893. The property's recent service history over the past seven years shows a total of six recorded 311 service requests, with the most recent two in September 2025 related to dead animal pick-up and garbage cart maintenance. The building experienced multiple garbage cart maintenance issues throughout 2024 and into late 2025, with three recorded requests for maintenance in that period, two of which were handled by city services while one was managed through the Alderman's office. A plumbing violation was documented and subsequently resolved in October 2024, representing the only building-specific violation on record. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a two-unit building of this age, the recurring nature of garbage cart maintenance issues across two years and the recent plumbing violation are notable points in the building's service history.

Risk rating

How 4213 S Union Ave 2'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.
