Unlock complete reportThe two-story residential building at 4449 S Shields Ave 2, located in Chicago's Fuller Park neighborhood, is an 1888 structure currently owned by Lucille Wilson. The property has generated a total of 17 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activities occurring in 2026. Of particular note is a water-in-basement complaint filed in January 2026, which could potentially indicate ongoing moisture or drainage issues within the building. More recent concerns from June 2026 include an open request for tree debris clean-up and garbage cart maintenance, suggesting attention to exterior maintenance and waste management systems may be required. The property has had some tree-related service requests, including a closed trim request and an information-only call in January 2026, though the city has indicated that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted. While the building's age (135 years) is significant, the limited number of serious maintenance requests over the past seven years suggests that major structural issues may not be prevalent, though the recent water complaint and open service requests merit attention.

How 4449 S Shields 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
