Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4142 W Armitage Ave in Hermosa, owned by Hoyos Restrepo Inv, has experienced several notable issues in recent months. The 1908 structure currently has six open violations recorded as of October 16, 2024, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, representing a significant and concerning cluster of unresolved issues that may impact resident safety and comfort. These violations, all recorded on the same date, suggest a recent pattern of building code concerns. In addition to these ongoing violations, there have been two 311 service requests in the past year: a closed information-only call from September 19, 2024, and a closed building violation complaint from August 13, 2024. With a total of six building violations and two service requests on record from the past seven years, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent wave of open violations as of October 2024, which warrant attention given their potential impact on resident conditions.

Risk rating

How 4142 W Armitage 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.
