AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4521 N Christiana Ave in Albany Park, owned by Christiana Vilico LLC, was constructed in 1913 and has maintained a relatively low volume of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with only four recorded incidents. All four requests were made in close succession during May 2024, including maintenance issues related to garbage and yard waste services, along with a blue recycling cart request and a dead animal removal request in January 2025. While these service requests have all been closed and indicate typical urban maintenance issues, there are no recorded complaints or concerns about building conditions, safety, or resident experience in the available data. The limited number of service requests over this period suggests generally stable property management, though it's worth noting that all recent requests in 2024 were concentrated within a single month, representing an unusual spike in service needs for the property.

Risk rating

How 4521 N Christiana 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.
