Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 4816 N Springfield in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, currently owned by A J & C HOLDINGS LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. The three-story structure, built in 1961, has accumulated an unsettling pattern of unresolved building code violations, with four open violations recorded so far in 2026, two of which stem from complaint-driven inspections in April 2026 and two from a similar inspection in February 2021. Additionally, there have been multiple 311 service requests related to the property, including three building violation complaints and a water on street complaint between December 2025 and March 2026, though these have been closed. The building's violation history shows persistent compliance challenges, including a documented house share prohibition violation, with the owner corporation facing a total of 10 building violations and five service requests within the past seven years. Despite these issues, only one building permit has been recorded under the owner's name during this period, suggesting limited permitted work has been undertaken on the property. The concentration of both open violations and recent service requests raises questions about the building's maintenance and compliance record.

Risk rating

How 4816 N Springfield Chicago'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.
