Initial analysis

The property at 3916 W Wilcox Street in Garfield Park is a two-unit, 1908 building currently owned by Rosemary Anderson. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past seven years, with the most pressing concerns being two unresolved permit-related violations from April and May 2025. The property has a documented history of vacant/abandoned building violations, with three such citations issued in 2021-2022 for failing to secure and maintain a vacant building and requirements for a watchman, though all were disposed of as city non-suits with no fines imposed. While not directly related to building safety, there have been multiple service requests regarding garbage cart maintenance (four instances in June 2025 and one in May 2025) as well as a street light outage complaint in March 2026, all of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 3916 W Wilcox St 1's risk score is calculated

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
