Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4908 N Kimball Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Vallance E Stevenson, has been in existence since 1960 and has experienced several notable events over the past three years (2025-2026). The most concerning pattern has been a series of rodent-related issues, with three documented rodent baiting/rat complaints in 2025, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge in the vicinity. Additionally, there were two other animal-related complaints during the same year, including a nuisance animal complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which were subsequently resolved. More recently, in 2026, there have been at least two service requests related to property maintenance, including a garbage cart maintenance issue and continuation of the abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which have been closed. While all recorded service requests have been addressed and closed, the concentration of rodent-related complaints in 2025 stands out as a significant trend in the building's recent maintenance history, warranting attention to neighborhood conditions during that period.

Risk rating

How 4908 N Kimball 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

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.
