Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4712 N Lawndale Ave in Albany Park, owned by Antonio & J Osorio, has been standing since 1916. The property has generated a modest number of service requests and complaints over the past seven years, with two 311 service requests and two environmental complaints recorded. Most recently, in 2025, the building experienced two environmental incidents in April - one related to construction and demolition activities and another concerning air pollution, both of which were promptly resolved within a day. The winter holiday season of 2024-2025 saw a request for tree trimming services, though it should be noted that this type of request is no longer being accepted. Earlier in 2025, a pothole complaint was logged regarding the street near the property. Given the relatively small number of complaints and service requests compared to many other properties, the building's record shows no major recurring issues, though the cluster of incidents in 2025 suggests that particular year may have seen some temporary disruptions.

Risk rating

How 4712 N Lawndale 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.
