Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4504 South Union Avenue in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by F Garcia, is a historically significant structure dating back to 1886. Over the past seven years, the property has generated six documented 311 service requests, with the most recent being an open tree emergency reported in June 2026. The building's service request history has been predominantly focused on green space maintenance, particularly regarding tree-related issues, with three tree emergencies reported between 2025-2026, one of which is currently unresolved. The property has also experienced infrastructure-related concerns, including two pothole complaints between 2024-2025, both of which were successfully resolved. Interestingly, a tree trimming request filed in November 2025 was submitted under a category that is no longer accepting requests. The relatively limited number of service requests over this extended period, with none directly related to building safety or maintenance, suggests that while there are ongoing municipal infrastructure and landscaping concerns in the vicinity, these issues have been managed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 4504 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.
