Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1928 building at 4219 N Kedzie Ave in Irving Park, currently owned by Amira Properties LLC, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years, with particular concentration of issues in 2019. The property is still facing unresolved building code violations from July 2019, which were part of a complaint-driven inspection. During the same month, the building faced enforcement action related to air pollution, resulting in a $5,000 fine for illegal sandblasting, grinding, and chemical washing activities that violated multiple city codes, though a second related violation was dismissed with no fine. Between 2024 and 2026, multiple 311 service requests have been filed, including sanitation code violations, restaurant and business complaints, and graffiti removal requests, with one business complaint still showing as open. The building's enforcement history also includes a 2002 illegal dumping complaint, demonstrating a long-standing concern with waste management issues at the property. Given the persistence of unresolved violations and the pattern of environmental and sanitation-related complaints, the building's maintenance history warrants attention, particularly regarding the impact of these issues on resident quality of life and safety.

Risk rating

How 4219 N Kedzie 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
29thpercentile

Out of 3731 buildings in this neighborhood, 2649 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
