Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4533 N Christiana Ave 2 in Albany Park, owned by Ramon J Valencia, has maintained its presence since 1912. The property's record over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with five building code violations and one service request being the only notable occurrences. Interestingly, all five building code violations were recently documented on November 30, 2023, though it is worth noting that they have all been resolved, as indicated by their "Complied" status. The only other service record is from May 12, 2025, regarding garbage cart maintenance, which has also been closed. While the building's age and violation history warrant attention, the swift resolution of these recent infractions suggests responsive management, though the clustering of violations in late 2023 may indicate a recent period of regulatory scrutiny. The limited number of service requests and building permits over this period, particularly during the recent years of heightened building activity in many Chicago neighborhoods, is noteworthy, though not necessarily indicative of any particular trend or issue.

Risk rating

How 4533 N Christiana Ave 2'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

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.
