Unlock complete reportThe 20-unit residential building at 4452 Drake in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by GREENBLUFF, LLC, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is the unresolved periodic routine inspection violations from April 2023, which typically indicate building safety or maintenance issues that require attention. The building's 311 service request history shows a significant cluster of tree-related issues in 2026, including three trim requests and one emergency call in March 2026, though these were ultimately closed. Other service requests from 2026 include one open tree planting request from November 2025, and a closed parking code enforcement review from May 2025. While the building has had three violations recorded in the past seven years, the nature of these violations isn't specified in the available data. Given the age of the structure and the relatively limited number of total violations and service requests in recent years compared to other buildings, this property has maintained a somewhat stable record, though the unresolved inspection violations from 2023 merit attention.

How 4452 Drake Chicago'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.
Out of 2730 buildings in this neighborhood, 2675 are predicted to be safer.
