Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4511 N Spaulding Ave in Albany Park, owned by Armando Arteaga, dates back to 1910 and has had some notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations reported on June 20, 2025, which fall under the category of complaint-driven inspections. While the exact nature of these violations isn't specified in the building's records, their open status suggests they require further investigation. The property has also experienced several service-related issues, with a total of nine 311 service requests filed in the past seven years. The most recent requests include a tree debris cleanup (May 2026) and a street pothole complaint (March 2026), both of which have been resolved. Other notable service requests include a fly dumping incident (October 2025), which was addressed by the Health Department; a building violation report (May 2025); and a garbage cart maintenance issue (April 2025). The building's violation and service request history, particularly the open building code violations, indicates some ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4511 N Spaulding 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.

Neighborhood percentile
53rdpercentile
