AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 4745 S Hermitage Avenue in the New City neighborhood is an 1889 structure owned by Oscar L Hermitage 4745. Over the past seven years, the property has generated ten service requests to the 311 system. Notably, the most recent cluster of incidents in 2025 has revolved primarily around graffiti, with four documented removal requests between January and August of that year. Prior to this graffiti pattern, the only other recorded service request in this period was a street pothole complaint in February 2025. The relatively small number of service requests over seven years, particularly when dominated by external graffiti issues rather than building-specific concerns, could suggest limited internal maintenance needs, though it is worth noting that such records only represent issues that were reported through the 311 system.

Risk rating

How 4745 S Hermitage Ave 2Ff'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.
