Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4543 S Justine St in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Janie Marquez, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, between March and October 2025, there has been a significant cluster of violations, including three building code violations and three sanitation code violations, all of which were processed through the Alderman's office and have since been closed. Prior to this surge in violations, there was also one vacant/abandoned building complaint lodged in April 2024, suggesting possible concerns about the building's occupancy status at that time. While the building is one of two parcels owned by Marquez, the documented history shows relatively few service requests and permits over the past seven years, with only two building permits pulled on record. The concentration of sanitation and building violations in 2025, particularly during the period from March to October, indicates a recent pattern of maintenance and safety issues that required official intervention, though it's worth noting all reported violations have been closed according to available records.

Risk rating

How 4543 S Justine St'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.
