Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4736 S Wood St in the New City neighborhood, owned by Lupe Guerra and constructed in 1908, has experienced several significant issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are multiple unresolved code violations from January 23, 2025, and these violations appear to be part of a series of complaint-driven inspections. While two other violations from February 7, 2025, have been resolved, the presence of multiple open violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The building has also had recurring plumbing issues, as evidenced by four closed plumbing violation reports between March 16-19, 2025, with one additional plumbing violation reported in April 2025. A garbage cart maintenance issue was reported in May 2026 and remains open. The property has generated a total of 33 service requests to the city over the past seven years, with these recent plumbing problems and code violations constituting the most pressing concerns. The building's violation and service request history, while not unprecedented for an older building, indicates a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues that have persisted into 2025.

Risk rating

How 4736 S Wood St 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

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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

The number of parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios can mean more management complexity.
