Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4954 N Lockwood Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Katherine P Tzoumis, is a century-old property constructed in 1905. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced one building code violation that was resolved by February 2025, demonstrating prompt attention to regulatory compliance. The property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent being a no water complaint in June 2026. While most service requests have been appropriately closed, they highlight various maintenance and utility issues, including a dead animal pick-up request (June 2026), missed garbage pick-up (January 2025), and an alley light out complaint (May 2024). Additionally, there have been two service requests made on October 3, 2024, for finance parking code enforcement and a building violation, both of which were resolved. The limited number of building violations and the relatively prompt resolution of issues suggest that while the property has experienced some routine maintenance challenges, there have been no major systemic problems affecting resident safety or comfort in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4954 N Lockwood 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.
