Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4511 S Richmond St in Brighton Park, owned by R Villagomez, has been in existence since 1920 and has a complex history with significant violations in 2012 and 2013. During mid-2012 through early-2013, the property faced multiple citations under the Chicago Municipal Code Sections 13-12-125 and 13-12-140 regarding the duty to secure and maintain vacant buildings and the requirement for watchmen. Four separate violations were issued between June 2012 and March 2013, with fines totaling $6,900, though several of these resulted in "City non-suit" dispositions, meaning the city dropped the case or did not pursue it. More recently, the building has experienced relatively minor issues, with six 311 service requests recorded over the past seven years, including three abandoned vehicle complaints between 2024-2026, a water lead test kit request (currently open), and two other service requests in March 2026. The property's most recent service requests suggest current concerns with both street parking issues and potential water quality monitoring requirements, though none of these recent issues are directly related to the building's structural or vacancy status.

Risk rating

How 4511 S Richmond 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
86thpercentile
