Unlock complete reportThe 26-unit residential building at 4855 N Kimball in Albany Park, owned by Hunter Properties, has been standing since 1921 and currently has one open building code violation from July 2019 related to a complaint-driven inspection. The property has experienced recurring infrastructure issues in its immediate vicinity, with multiple street-related concerns documented in 2025, particularly regarding potholes, with five such complaints recorded between July and August of that year, all of which have been resolved. The most recent service request was for a water lead test kit in March 2026, which remains open, suggesting ongoing concerns about water quality. Over the past seven years, the building's record shows a total of 51 service requests, though many pertain to street conditions rather than building-specific issues, and there have been three building permits issued during this period. While the number of building-specific service requests appears relatively low for a property of this size and age, the presence of an unresolved building code violation and the recent water quality testing request warrant attention to the property's maintenance and safety history.

How 4855 N Kimball Chicago's risk score is calculated
