Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4426 N Bernard St in Albany Park, owned by Jessica Leon, is a 1914 structure that has experienced some notable regulatory activity over recent years. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in late 2024 through mid-2025, when there were multiple building violations and service requests, including two complaint-driven inspections on May 15, 2025, that were subsequently resolved. Prior to these inspections, there were documented concerns about unauthorized construction work in December 2024, along with another building violation that same month. The building has maintained a relatively low overall violation record, with only two documented building code violations in the past seven years and a total of four 311 service requests, though the high concentration of issues in late 2024 to early 2025 represents the most active period on record for this property. The most recent documented interactions with city services have all been resolved, with no ongoing open cases noted in the current records as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 4426 N Bernard St 1'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
68thpercentile
