Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4940 W Deming Place in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Pedro Hernandez, has experienced several municipal service interactions over the past seven years. Built in 1916, this property has been relatively stable, with only one recorded building violation and a single building permit issued during this period. The most recent cluster of service requests, all dated in 2026, has primarily centered around infrastructure maintenance, with two open pothole complaints in May 2026 (one for an alley and one for a street) representing the only current unresolved issues. Prior to these, there were three tree-related service requests in September 2025, including two successful planting initiatives and one emergency situation, along with a completed garbage cart maintenance request from March 2026. The property history shows a total of 54 service requests filed under the owner's name, suggesting active engagement with local services, though most of these have been resolved rather than open. While the building's system shows regular maintenance and interaction with city services, the concentration of recent tree and pothole issues may indicate some ongoing challenges with local infrastructure and public space management in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 4940 W Deming Pl'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
97thpercentile
