Initial analysis

The property at 4048 S Francisco Ave in Brighton Park is a single-parcel, 1921-built residential building currently owned by John Frederick. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years reveals a total of four recorded incidents, with the most recent being an open tree planting request from June 2026. The earlier requests, all from 2025, include an abandoned vehicle complaint (closed), a tree emergency (closed), and a water lead test kit request (closed). While the water lead test kit request suggests a proactive approach to water quality concerns, it's notable that both tree-related service requests occurred within close proximity to each other in mid-2025. The overall frequency and nature of these service requests, which primarily relate to environmental and infrastructure matters rather than building-specific issues, suggest no significant resident experience or safety concerns have been recorded within the available data timeframe.

Risk rating

How 4048 S Francisco Ave 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
85thpercentile
