Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 4820 N Kildare Ave 2 in Albany Park, owned by Michael E Kinyon, has experienced several significant events over the past seven years, with particular attention required to incidents clustered in late 2025. Most notably, in October 2025, there was a concerning focus on lead-related issues, with both a Lead Inspection Request and a Water Lead Test Visit Request filed, suggesting potential health risks related to lead contamination in both the building and its water supply. The property also faced two building violations in October 2025, and in March 2026, violations were recorded related to unpermitted construction work. The relatively sparse record of 311 service requests over this seven-year period—totaling only eight requests—might suggest limited ongoing issues, though it's important to note that one of these was simply an information request. The building's permit activity has been minimal during this period, with only one building permit recorded, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any problems.

Risk rating

How 4820 N Kildare Ave 2'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.
