Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4328 W 17th Street in North Lawndale, owned by Gloria Jackson, has been in existence since 1927 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are three unresolved building code violations identified on April 24, 2026, which were documented through complaint-driven inspections. The property has also generated a significant number of service requests through the 311 system, with a total of 29 requests in the past seven years, though recent activity has been particularly concentrated in March-May 2026. During this recent period, multiple recycling-related requests were made, including two recycling pick-up requests and a blue recycling cart request, with one recycling pick-up request still open. An abandoned vehicle complaint made in March 2026 has since been resolved. Looking further back, there was one environmental complaint regarding asbestos filed in April 2001, though it remains unclear whether this issue was ever resolved based on the available data. The building's violation and service request history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring challenges, particularly with the open violations recorded in 2026.

Risk rating

How 4328 W 17Th St'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
