Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4036 S Francisco Ave in Brighton Park, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Miguel Manuel L, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years that could impact resident wellbeing. Most significantly, in late December 2024, the property encountered serious environmental compliance issues, with validated complaints regarding air pollution that led to two substantial violations on December 31, 2024. These violations, which pertained to improper handling and storage of windborne materials and improper treatment and disposal of solid or liquid waste, resulted in default judgments against the property owner with fines totaling $7,500. The building's most recent 311 service request, for a sidewalk inspection, was initiated in March 2026 and remains open as of this report's writing, though this is a relatively minor and common maintenance issue compared to the environmental violations. Prior to these recent events, the building had maintained a low incident profile, with only one 311 service request and no recorded environmental issues for the previous six years, making the late 2024 violations particularly notable within the building's historical context.

Risk rating

How 4036 S Francisco Ave'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.
