Initial analysis

The 26-unit building at 4448 N Kedzie in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by 4446 N Kedzie BLDG LLC, has a mixed record of building and environmental compliance since its construction in 1921. Most notably, there is an open periodic routine inspection violation from August 2025 that remains unresolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with process equipment operation instructions, as evidenced by five environmental enforcement actions between 2017 and 2024, with fines ranging from $250 to $1,500, though all these cases have been closed with liability pleas. The building has also faced various 311 service requests in recent years, including two fly dumping complaints in June 2026 (one still open), a sanitation code violation in June 2026, and other miscellaneous issues such as parking code enforcement and general inquiries, most of which have been resolved. The most recent service requests suggest ongoing environmental and sanitation challenges in the immediate vicinity of the building. While the property has maintained a relatively low number of violations overall (one building violation and four environmental enforcement actions in the past seven years), the open periodic inspection and recent sanitation-related complaints indicate areas of concern regarding building maintenance and neighborhood hygiene.

Risk rating

How 4448 N Kedzie 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.

Neighborhood percentile
7thpercentile

Out of 2742 buildings in this neighborhood, 2550 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
