Initial analysis

The property at 4046 N Hamlin Ave 2 in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a three-unit residential building owned by Peter Sauer, constructed in 1913. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented 311 service requests associated with this address, with the most recent activity occurring in 2024. Notably, there appears to be a pattern of tree-related issues in the recent period, with two emergency tree incidents and one tree debris clean-up request between June and October 2024, all of which have been closed. Looking further back in the building's history, there was a single environmental complaint filed in September 2004 regarding noise, though there appear to be no documented follow-up issues or complaints related to this matter in the subsequent years. The relatively low number of service requests and complaints over both the recent and historical periods suggests minimal reported issues, though the concentration of recent tree-related incidents may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 4046 N Hamlin Ave 2'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.
