This three-unit residential building at 4140 N Kedzie Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Mary Lichter, was constructed in 1919 and has experienced several notable events over its recent history. The building currently has an open graffiti removal request from June 2026, continuing a concerning pattern of vandalism that has emerged in 2026, with five graffiti removal requests recorded between March and June 2026, though most of these have been resolved. The property has also faced challenges with pest control, evidenced by a rodent baiting complaint in May 2026. While the building maintained compliance over many years, it experienced environmental issues in both 2002 and 2025, with complaints regarding hazardous materials and air pollution, respectively - though the 2025 incident was resolved the same day it was reported.

Risk rating

How 4140 N Kedzie 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.
