AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 4826 N Central Park Ave in Albany Park, owned by T N Ngoc, was constructed in 1922 and has experienced minimal issues over the past seven years. The building's record shows only one building code violation during this period, which was a periodic routine inspection that has since been resolved, as well as one building permit. While there have been 12 total 311 service requests filed under the owner's name, these have been primarily related to street lighting issues in the vicinity of the property. Between July 2025 and May 2026, there were six documented complaints about street and alley lights being out, all of which were promptly closed following investigation by the Chicago Department of Transportation. The consistent nature of these lighting complaints suggests an ongoing infrastructure issue in the area, though none of these problems directly relate to the building's condition or management. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding building-specific violations and complaints, with no recent issues on file since 2026.

Risk rating

How 4826 N Central Park 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.
