Unlock complete reportThe 10-unit residential building at 4300 N Ridgeway in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Gary Carlson and constructed in 1916, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most significantly, there were four building code violations recorded in August 2021 from complaint-driven inspections, with at least two of these violations remaining open and unresolved. While the building has seen some maintenance activity, as evidenced by one building permit issued in the past seven years and three resolved building violations, there is also a concerning pattern of service requests, totaling 18 for the building alone and 26 across all properties owned by Gary Carlson. Recent service requests from 2026 include sanitation code violations, tree debris clean-up needs, stray animal complaints, and multiple pothole issues in the street area, though most of these street-related complaints have been resolved. The property has one recorded scofflaw violation, which typically indicates serious non-compliance with local regulations, though the specific nature of this violation is not detailed in the records.
