Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4848 N Keeler Ave in Albany Park, owned by Adela Contreras, is a 1919 construction with limited documented issues over the past seven years. The property has one building code violation recorded in December 2020 related to permit inspections that remains open as of the latest available data. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with three rodent baiting complaints registered between 2025-2026, though these were all subsequently closed. Other maintenance concerns have included garbage cart maintenance and tree-related matters, with two tree-related service requests (one for trimming and one for removal inspection) processed in 2025. A sewer cave-in inspection request was also filed and closed in October 2025. While the frequency of service requests over this period (10 in total) suggests some maintenance challenges, the nature of these requests appears to be typical for a building of this age, with most issues promptly addressed through proper channels, except for the unresolved permit-related inspection violation from December 2020 which warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 4848 N Keeler 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

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.
