Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4213 W Hirsch St in Humboldt Park, owned by Jesus Esparza, has been in existence since 1914 and has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past several years. Of particular note is the recurring issue with garbage cart maintenance, with two documented service requests in 2026 and 2025, with the most recent request remaining open as of May 2026. The property has also faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by a rat complaint filed in May 2026 that has since been closed. Infrastructure concerns have been documented through two separate alley pothole complaints, one in October 2024 and another in July 2025, both of which were resolved. The building and its surroundings have generated a total of six service requests over the past seven years, indicating some ongoing maintenance needs, though most issues have been addressed and closed out.

Risk rating

How 4213 W Hirsch St 1'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.
