AI summary

The 6-unit residential building at 4633 N Lawndale Ave in Albany Park, owned by CMHDC ALBLLC, is a 1920 structure that has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of complaint-driven inspections on April 16, 2026, which resulted in five open and unresolved building code violations, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. Prior to this, there were two building-related incidents in late 2025 that warranted attention, including a plumbing violation in December which has since been closed, as well as another building violation from the same month. The property has also engaged in tree-related activities, with two requests for tree planting - one in August 2024 which was closed, and another in February 2025 which remains open. While the tree planting efforts suggest some level of property maintenance and improvement efforts, the presence of multiple open building code violations as of 2026 raises concerns about the building's current condition and the timeliness of maintenance responses.

Risk rating

How 4633 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

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.
