Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4452 S Shields Ave in Fuller Park, owned by Geordoni Mckoy, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, on July 9, 2025, five complaint-driven inspection violations were documented, all of which remain open and unresolved as of the current date, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that may affect tenant safety and comfort. The property has accrued a total of five building violations and 22 service requests over the past seven years, indicating a pattern of maintenance or regulatory challenges. Recent service requests from 2026 include a mix of issues ranging from tree trimming needs (which were subsequently no longer being accepted) to yard waste pickup and an injured animal report, though these are more typical municipal service matters rather than building-specific concerns. There is one documented building permit from the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data. A historical environmental complaint related to illegal dumping was recorded in July 2009, though this is now quite dated compared to more recent issues.

Risk rating

How 4452 S Shields 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

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.
