Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4300 N Western Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Feim Azizi, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced various incidents over the past seven years. Most significantly, in early 2020, the property faced two construction-related violations resulting in $1,000 total fines regarding construction site cleanliness issues, specifically relating to track-out prevention and chain link fence maintenance, though these violations were subsequently resolved through a liable plea. The building has generated an above-average number of service requests in recent years, with 22 total 311 service requests recorded, including multiple instances of graffiti that required removal (six requests in 2025 alone) and one abandoned vehicle complaint. The property has also been subject to environmental scrutiny, with two enforcement actions taken in 2020. One of these actions, regarding illegal dumping, resulted in no violations being found upon investigation, while the other, relating to construction site cleanliness, resulted in a $500 fine. The most recent service request on record was for a "Do Not Enter" sign repair in March 2026, though this date appears unusually future-dated and may warrant verification.

Risk rating

How 4300 N Western 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
