Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4340 W 18th Street in North Lawndale, owned by Boozah Holdings LLC, is a 1927 structure currently facing multiple unresolved issues, with four open building code violations as of December 6, 2023. The property's recent history over the past seven years shows a concerning pattern, with the most recent building violations occurring in late 2023, and a significant number of service requests to city agencies, totaling 37. These service requests, while mostly resolved, indicate ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges, including a rodent complaint (February 2026), plumbing and building violations (September 2024), and various infrastructure issues such as street potholes and recycling concerns (September 2025). The building's compliance history includes one building permit application in the past seven years and a documented environmental violation related to construction and demolition activities in 2017, which was founded and resolved in August of that year.

Risk rating

How 4340 W 18Th St 3'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
