The property has recorded three building code violations in the past seven years, all of which are currently unresolved, with the most recent complaint-driven inspection violation dated August 2024. The building has experienced ongoing issues related to water safety and pest control, as evidenced by multiple service requests.

Prior to this, in 2024, there was also a rodent-related complaint that was addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 4501 N Troy 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.
