Initial analysis

The 20-unit residential building at 4750 N Whipple in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Mowaffak Al Chaar, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, in 2023, there were multiple unresolved violations related to periodic routine inspections that occurred on April 13, suggesting potential ongoing compliance issues. The property has a documented pattern of environmental concerns, with three air pollution-related complaints between 2001 and 2016, though two of these were ultimately determined to be unfounded. The building has faced various environmental enforcement actions, including a default fine of $250 in late 2024 for failing to maintain a required certificate of operation, and a $1,000 fine in 2019 related to improper operation instructions for process equipment. Historical records show some consistency in code violations, with three official violations recorded in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 4750 N Whipple Chicago's risk score is calculated

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
