AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 4252 N Sacramento Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a 1923 construction currently owned by John Sopt and managed under 5 total parcels. The property has maintained a relatively low record of building violations over the past seven years, with only two noted infractions, and has generated one environmental complaint during this period. Recent history shows concentrated maintenance activity in 2024, particularly around landscaping and external maintenance, with five related service requests including tree removal, tree trimming, weed removal, and graffiti removal, all of which have been resolved. The building's 311 service request record also shows two finance-related parking code enforcement reviews in 2025 and 2026, though these appear to be external to the building's direct management issues. Overall, while the property shows regular engagement with city services for maintenance and compliance, the relatively few violations and prompt resolution of service requests suggests basic upkeep is being addressed, with most recent activity focusing on exterior maintenance and landscaping.

Risk rating

How 4252 N Sacramento 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
