Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 4300 S Wood St in New City's New City neighborhood, owned by Victorino Velez, is a historic structure dating back to 1891. The property has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, with 11 building code violations documented over the past seven years, including six separate instances of complaint-driven inspections in March and August of 2020 that remain open and unresolved as of the most recent records. The building's service request history shows 40 documented incidents, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring primarily in 2026, including issues such as street light outages, potholes, sanitation violations, and rodent problems, all of which have been closed. While these external infrastructure and sanitation issues were resolved through appropriate channels, the persistent nature of the building code violations, particularly the open complaints from 2020-2021, merits attention as these may impact resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 4300 S Wood 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.
