New City, Chicago IL 60609 20064060390000 3 units · 1893

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4338 S Ashland Ave in the New City neighborhood is an 1893 structure currently owned by Eduardo Marquez, who also owns an adjacent parcel, totaling two parcels. The property has a relatively limited records history over the past seven years, with only nine total 311 service requests, of which seven were specific to this building address. The most recent service request from March 2026 involved both a building violation and a dead animal pick-up request, both of which were subsequently closed. The previous two years showed recurring issues with dead animal removal needs, including another similar request in October 2025, and several infrastructure concerns including garbage cart maintenance (August 2025) and a street pothole complaint (July 2024). Notably, there was one rodent-related complaint in June 2024, which could indicate some concerns about pest management in the area. Given the age of the building and these relatively minimal service requests, the property has maintained a low volume of recorded issues, though the recent building violation and animal-related concerns merit particular attention in terms of resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4338 S Ashland 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

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.
