Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4338 W Jackson Blvd in the Garfield Park neighborhood, owned by Tajuania Bell, has been standing since 1923 and presents a concerning record of unresolved issues over the past several years. Most significantly, there is a cluster of six open, complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on March 5, 2020, all of which remain unresolved to date - a situation that warrants attention given its potential impact on resident safety and building integrity. In addition to these building code violations, the property has generated ten 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent occurring in February 2026 regarding fly dumping. While most of the 311 requests have been resolved, including issues such as sign repair, traffic signal complaints, and garbage cart maintenance in the past two years, the persistent nature of the building code violations from 2020 is particularly noteworthy. The ratio of building violations (9) to 311 service requests (10) suggests a consistent pattern of issues requiring attention, though it's worth noting that many of the 311 requests relate to external infrastructure or neighborhood concerns rather than direct building management issues.

Risk rating

How 4338 W Jackson 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.

Neighborhood percentile
