Initial analysis

The property at 4835 N Kostner Ave 1 is a two-unit, 100-year-old residential building located in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, currently owned by Samantha Garcia. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a total of four 311 service requests, all of which were recorded and resolved between June and December 2024. These service requests were all related to tree-related issues, including inspection, emergency response, and debris clean-up needs in June and July 2024, which suggests proactive management of landscaping concerns by the property owner. The most recent recorded incident was a street light outage in December 2025. While the frequency of these service requests might indicate some ongoing maintenance attention required in the immediate vicinity, particularly regarding tree-related matters, all reported issues have been addressed and closed through the appropriate city services channels.

Risk rating

How 4835 N Kostner 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.
