Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1916 residential building at 4523 N Kimball Ave in Albany Park, owned by Konrad Nagatoshi, has maintained a relatively standard service record over the past seven years. The property has recorded a total of six 311 service requests, with the most recent being a tree trimming request from February 2026. A notable cluster of service requests occurred in 2024, including two separate incidents involving trees - one emergency situation and another requiring debris clean-up. That same year also saw complaints regarding missed garbage pick-ups in November, as well as a dead animal pick-up request in July. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only two permits filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited major modifications or improvements to the structure during this period. While the service request record shows general maintenance issues that have been addressed (all cases are marked as closed), the frequency of tree-related issues in 2024 might indicate ongoing landscape management challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 4523 N Kimball 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.
