Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 424 S Eggleston Ave in the West Pullman neighborhood, owned by Hayword Ford, was constructed in 1965 and has experienced several concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there are six unresolved building code violations from March 2020, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections, which remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. While the building's total record shows 23 violations and 23 service requests over the past seven years, the majority of recent activity (2026) has been related to external maintenance issues rather than internal building code concerns. These recent requests, all of which have been closed, primarily consisted of fly dumping complaints (four instances in April-May 2026), weed removal (May 2026), and two tree trimming requests (February 2026). The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood conditions, though it's worth noting that the external service requests have been successfully resolved. The presence of multiple open building code violations from 2020 is particularly notable, representing the only remaining unresolved issues on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 424 S Eggleston Ave'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
4thpercentile
