AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4942 N Saint Louis Ave in the Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Perla Roimiser, has been standing since 1911. The property's documented history over the past seven years reveals some concerning patterns, with a total of 10 building violations recorded, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the available data. The building has generated a total of 22 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent being a parking code enforcement review in August 2024, which has since been closed. While the frequency of 311 service requests might suggest ongoing tenant concerns, it's worth noting that only one of these requests has occurred in the past year, indicating either improved conditions or potentially reduced tenant engagement with city services. The property has two officially registered parcels under Roimiser's ownership, though the records do not specify whether these are all contiguous or separate lots.

Risk rating

How 4942 N Saint Louis 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.
