Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4736 N Keeler Ave in Albany Park, owned by Lilia Chavez, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent months, particularly in July 2024. Most notably, on July 2, the property was found to have committed two significant environmental violations: one related to improper handling and storage of materials that could become windborne, and another concerning unauthorized sandblasting and chemical washing of the building, which typically requires special permits and adherence to lead paint abatement standards. These violations resulted in total fines of $3,000. During the same period, there were two sewer cave-in inspection requests made in July 2024, though both were closed without indicating whether any structural issues were found. Prior to these recent developments, the building's record over the past seven years showed minimal activity, with only one environmental complaint filed and no documented safety or maintenance concerns. The cluster of recent incidents in mid-2024 suggests increased activity at the property, though the specific nature and timing of the work being conducted is not clear from the available records.

Risk rating

How 4736 N Keeler 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.
