Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 4201 W Roosevelt Rd in North Lawndale, owned by Manisfield Howard, is a 1903 structure with some concerning open violations on record. Most notably, there are four unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from August 22, 2019, which have remained open for over four years, potentially indicating ongoing safety or maintenance concerns. The property has generated a total of 15 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests in March 2026 being for graffiti removal. Noteworthy too is a spike in activity in August 2025, when there were multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity and one pothole complaint, though these external issues don't directly reflect on the building's condition. While the total number of service requests and violations is relatively modest for a century-old building, the presence of long-standing open violations from 2019 warrants attention as the most significant issue on record.

Risk rating

How 4201 W Roosevelt Rd'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.
