Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4325 N Bernard Street in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood was constructed in 1901 and is currently owned by Lucas Schmitt. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 15 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. This building's service history shows recurring concerns about rodent issues, with two rat complaints filed within close proximity to each other in 2025 and the property currently having an open water lead test kit request as of August 2025. Other maintenance and municipal service requests include yard waste pick-up, parking code enforcement review, and snow-related services, which were all properly closed after resolution. While the variety of service requests indicates ongoing property maintenance needs, the majority of the recent service requests in 2025 and 2026 relate to seasonal and routine municipal services rather than urgent building condition issues.

Risk rating

How 4325 N Bernard St'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
47thpercentile
