AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4834 N Saint Louis Ave in Albany Park, owned by Pavlo Derbedyenyev, is a 1914 construction that has experienced several notable maintenance and service issues over recent years. The property has two unresolved building code violations from January 2020, both resulting from complaint-driven inspections, which are particularly concerning as they may impact resident safety and comfort. While the building's service history shows relatively regular upkeep in certain areas, with 20 documented 311 service requests, most of these (six in total) have been related to yard waste management between March and November 2026. The frequency of yard waste requests suggests ongoing landscape maintenance by residents, though it may also indicate previous challenges with waste disposal processes. Additionally, there was one tree debris clean-up request in November 2025. The building has recorded only two building permits in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. While the property has maintained basic service requirements through regular waste management requests, the presence of open building code violations from 2020 warrants attention as the most significant current concern in the building's record.

Risk rating

How 4834 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.
