Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4300 N Hamlin Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Fern Katz, has been in operation since 1905. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 43 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring between March and May 2026. This recent period has seen recurring issues with signage and sanitation, including two open sign repair requests, a missed garbage pick-up complaint, a fly dumping incident, and sanitation code violation. These recent sanitation-related complaints, particularly the fly dumping complaint (which suggests improper waste disposal) and the garbage cart maintenance issue, may warrant attention as they could potentially impact resident comfort and building maintenance. The building's permit activity shows minimal intervention or improvements, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, which could indicate either stability in building conditions or potentially limited investment in property maintenance.

Risk rating

How 4300 N Hamlin 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.
