Initial analysis

The 25-unit residential building at 4911 N Whipple in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by OSIEM LLC, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1926, currently has four unresolved building code violations from periodic routine inspections conducted in March 2025 and July 2021, as well as a complaint-driven inspection in March 2026. The building's 311 service request history indicates some recent activity, with six service requests in 2026 alone, including multiple building violations, a rodent complaint, and a finance parking code enforcement review, all of which have been closed. Earlier, in 2025, there was also an alley light outage complaint that was addressed. While the property has had its share of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in the past three years, it's worth noting that the majority of recent service requests have been resolved through proper channels, though the open violations from 2025 and 2026 inspections warrant attention as they remain unresolved.

Risk rating

How 4911 N Whipple Chicago'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.
