Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4356 S Wood Street in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Vanessa Sotelo, has been on record since its construction in 1900. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of eight service requests to the city's 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in late 2025. The recent 311 service requests are clustered primarily in June 2025, when four calls were made - three of which were information-only inquiries, while one was related to a plumbing violation. Additional service requests in October 2025 included a sign repair request and a fly dumping complaint in December 2025. The building's service request history shows no pattern of recurring issues or emergencies, though the presence of a plumbing violation in 2025 is noteworthy. While the majority of the recent inquiries were information calls, the varied nature of the service requests, including municipal service matters like sign repairs and waste complaints, suggests the building is engaged with standard urban maintenance and civic compliance processes.

Risk rating

How 4356 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
