Initial analysis

The property at 4933 N Drake Ave 1FL in Albany Park is a two-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Sharon A Walaski. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of nine service requests through the 311 system, with the majority occurring during the summer months of July 2024. This period witnessed an unusual cluster of six tree debris clean-up requests within a span of just twelve days, with one of these being specifically directed to the Streets and Sanitation department while the others went through 311 City Services. The only other service requests on record were two tree debris clean-up requests in March 2026 and May 2025, along with a street light outage complaint in July 2024, all of which have been marked as closed. The relatively minimal number of service requests over this extended period, particularly after 2024, suggests that while there were some notable incidents related to tree debris, these were largely contained to specific months and years, with more recent years showing significantly fewer reported issues.

Risk rating

How 4933 N Drake Ave 1Fl'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.
