AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4734 N Lawndale Ave in Albany Park, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by J A M ACEVEDO & A C M, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2026. The property has an open building code violation as of January 2026, which is noteworthy given the age of the structure that was built over a century ago. Rodent-related problems appear to be a recurring issue, with three documented complaints in 2024-2025, including one just days before the current report date in January 2026. The building has also attracted multiple health and general building violation complaints in January 2026, though these have been marked as closed in the 311 system. Beyond these more pressing concerns, there was a tree trimming request made in December 2024 that is no longer being accepted. The relatively low number of service requests (eight total) and building permits (one) on record over the past seven years might suggest limited recent investment in property improvements. While the available data does not indicate any serious pattern of recurring issues beyond the rodent complaints and recent violations, the most significant concerns appear to be concentrated in the most recent year of available records (2024-2026), particularly regarding pest management and unresolved building code violations.

Risk rating

How 4734 N Lawndale Ave 4734'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.
