Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 4928 S Saint Lawrence Ave 2 in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by James J Buckle Jr, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years, with the most pressing being a cluster of open complaint-driven violations recorded in April 2025, which currently remain unresolved. The property, constructed in 1880, has a total of six building code violations and 17 service requests on record during this period, including multiple tree trim requests and a fly dumping complaint in early 2026. The building's maintenance history shows some responsiveness to permit-related inspections, with violations from July 2022 and February 2023 being resolved. One environmental complaint regarding construction and demolition was deemed invalid and closed in March 2015. While there has been only one building permit filed in the last seven years, the recent pattern of open violations suggests potential ongoing maintenance or compliance issues that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4928 S Saint Lawrence Ave 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.
