Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4742 W West End Ave in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago is a century-old property constructed in 1908, currently owned by Luz M Rosario. The building's service record over the past seven years indicates relatively low maintenance and service request activity, with only five documented 311 service requests during this period. The most recent requests are primarily related to municipal services rather than building-specific issues, including two tree trimming requests in late 2024 (for which the city is no longer accepting requests), a garbage cart maintenance issue in December 2024, and a water lead test kit request in September 2024. The only request from 2025 was an abandoned vehicle complaint that has since been closed. The varied nature of these service requests suggests typical urban maintenance matters rather than any building-specific concerns, with the water lead test kit request being the most significant in terms of potential resident health impact, though this was initiated through proper channels and subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 4742 W West End Ave 02'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.
