Initial analysis

The three-story, 13-unit residential building at 4457 N Kimball in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, currently owned by ARK MANAGEMENT LLC, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations and recurring infrastructure issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations as of November 2025, including two complaint-driven inspections and four periodic routine inspections that remain unresolved. The building's documented issues began to surface in mid-2025, with six total building code violations recorded during this period, all of which are still pending resolution. Additionally, the property has been the subject of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent complaints in 2026 focusing on water-related issues both on the street and within the building itself. The building has also faced maintenance challenges outside its structure, as evidenced by three tree trim requests in early 2026, though these requests are no longer being accepted according to city protocol. Historical data indicates the property was built in 1915, which may contribute to some of the ongoing maintenance challenges, though most recent issues appear to be primarily related to water management and unresolved building code violations.

Risk rating

How 4457 N Kimball 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

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.
