Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4409 W Washington Blvd in Garfield Park, owned by Dorothy Cain, is a 1906 structure that has experienced a notable series of maintenance and infrastructure-related issues over the past seven years. The most significant recent pattern of concern involves multiple water-related incidents in 2026, including three street water complaints in April and May, and a sewer cleaning inspection request in May. The property has also faced challenges with waste management, as evidenced by two garbage cart maintenance issues reported in October 2025 and January 2026. Additional incidents, while less critical to resident safety, include a report of an injured animal in March 2026. The building's permit activity shows minimal oversight, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent structural or major system improvements to the nearly 120-year-old property. The total of 20 service requests in this period indicates regular engagement with city services, though the majority appear to be routine maintenance or infrastructure-related issues rather than emergency situations.

Risk rating

How 4409 W Washington Blvd 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.
