AI summary

The two-unit residential property at 4512 N Saint Louis Avenue in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, built in 1908 and currently owned by Pedro Casales, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and service issues over the past two years. Most significantly, there have been four tree-related service requests between December 2025 and March 2026, including two tree trimming requests (for which the city has since ceased accepting such applications), one tree removal inspection, and a water on street complaint. The property has also generated three miscellaneous service requests during this period, including complaints about an abandoned vehicle and improper e-scooter parking, though these issues appear to be related to street management rather than the building itself. The building's combined service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 14 complaints or service requests across two parcels, though the majority of these are from the most recent two-year period. While the property has required various municipal services, there have been no reported incidents of structural or safety concerns within the building itself according to the available data.

Risk rating

How 4512 N Saint Louis 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.
