4943 S Forrestville Chicago
Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.
This building has 0 building violations (7y), at or below the Grand Boulevard average of 2.8.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts building violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe eight-unit multi-family residential building at 4943 S Forrestville Avenue in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by Aardvark Ventures II, has been in operation since 1906. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 22 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026 involving information requests and weed removal needs. The property has seen some maintenance attention to its exterior environment in recent years, with notable service requests in late 2025 for tree trimming and an alley pothole complaint in October 2025. These requests suggest a pattern of regular maintenance needs related to the property's outdoor spaces. While the building's service request history doesn't show any recent serious safety or habitability concerns, it's worth noting that a single air pollution complaint was recorded back in November 2007, though there has been no indication of similar issues in the more recent service request history. The most recent activity recorded in the data set primarily pertains to landscaping and exterior maintenance rather than any internal building concerns.

How 4943 S Forrestville Chicago'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.
Out of 1174 buildings in this neighborhood, 951 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
