AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4914 N Kentucky Ave in Albany Park, owned by Michael Eugene Grasz, is a 1924 structure currently experiencing multiple inspection-related challenges. Most notably, four unresolved complaint-driven inspections were filed on August 6, 2024, representing a concerning recent pattern of regulatory scrutiny. Prior to these open violations, there was a porch inspection request initiated on July 31, 2024, though this specific 311 service request has since been closed. The building's violation and service request history, though limited to just one additional service request in the past seven years, suggests that the property may be currently facing significant regulatory attention, particularly regarding the recent wave of complaint-driven inspections.

Risk rating

How 4914 N Kentucky 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
