Initial analysis

The property at 4726 N Springfield Ave in Albany Park is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Carolina Villanueva. The building's recent history is marked by a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, particularly with four open complaint-driven building code violations as of September 2025, all of which remain unresolved. The property has experienced several service disruptions and maintenance concerns in 2025, including sewer issues, missed garbage collection, and various garbage cart maintenance requirements, though these service requests have been closed. A building violation was reported and subsequently closed in June 2025, and there was a previously documented tree trimming request from November 2024. Looking further back, in November 2010, there was an environmental complaint related to asbestos, which suggests historical concerns about hazardous materials in the building. The building's records indicate relatively few permits have been pulled under the current ownership, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, alongside eight total building violations and seven service requests attributable to the owner.

Risk rating

How 4726 N Springfield Ave 1St'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.
