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 two-unit residential building at 4824 S Wood Street in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Carlos Pastrana, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1903. The property's most recent activity was a graffiti removal request in May 2025, which was subsequently closed. Notably, the building experienced a significant period of concern regarding its vacant status in 2015, when multiple violations were recorded in July and October of that year. These violations, all of which were ultimately subject to city non-suit disposition with no fines imposed, included multiple counts of failure to secure and maintain the vacant building, as well as requirements for a watchman to be present. Since these 2015 violations, there have been no further recorded building code violations or service requests, suggesting improved property maintenance or reduced vacancy status, though it's important to note that only one service request has been recorded in the past seven years across both the property and owner records.

Risk rating

How 4824 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.

Neighborhood percentile
50thpercentile
