Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4826 S Lawndale Ave in Archer Heights, owned by Eva & Jesus Aguilera, has a documented history spanning several significant events over recent years. Most notably, there are six unresolved building code violations from June 17, 2025, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections, which remain open and merit attention. The property has also generated 24 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of requests occurring in 2026. This includes two closed emergency tree-related incidents in June 2026, three recycling cart-related requests in April-May 2026 (one of which remains open), and a closed graffiti removal request from March 2026. While the building's age (constructed in 1878) and location in Archer Heights are consistent with its historical context, the concentration of recent service requests and unresolved violations particularly from 2025-2026 warrant attention, with the unresolved building code violations being the most significant concern from a resident experience and safety perspective.

Risk rating

How 4826 S Lawndale 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.
