Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4435 W Altgeld St in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Lago Dulce Prop 4435, has several significant recent concerns that potential tenants should be aware of. Most notably, there are currently four open complaint-driven inspection violations as of December 2025, which represent the most pressing and unresolved issues affecting the property. While the building's history shows minimal activity with only two 311 service requests and one building permit over the past seven years, the recent cluster of building violations is particularly concerning. The two 311 service requests from 2025 are worth noting for their varied nature: one related to building violations in August (now closed), and an earlier pothole complaint in March 2025 (also closed). Given the age of the building (constructed in 1913) and its relatively limited recent maintenance record, combined with the current open violations, this property appears to be experiencing ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that may affect resident quality of life and safety.

Risk rating

How 4435 W Altgeld 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
