Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4357 S Princeton Ave in Fuller Park, constructed in 1898, has a concerning record of unresolved issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are six open, complaint-driven building code violations recorded in February 2020 that remain unresolved as of October 2023. While the exact nature of these violations is not specified in the available data, their persistent open status over three and a half years suggests they may impact resident safety or comfort. During the same seven-year period, there have been three 311 service requests related to the property's external environment, all of which have been resolved: a tree trim request (now no longer being accepted) in December 2025, and two street light issues in May and June 2025 (one for a malfunctioning light and another for a light operating during the day). While these exterior lighting issues have been addressed, they occurred after the building's most significant and unresolved code violations, which represent a larger concern regarding the building's habitability.

Risk rating

How 4357 S Princeton Ave 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

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
4thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 261 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
