Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4255 W Leland Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood is a vintage 1925 property that, according to recent records, currently has no listed ownership entity. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows a minimal number of incidents, with only three recorded 311 service requests. Two of these requests have been resolved: a garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2026, and a sewer cave-in inspection request in July 2024, both of which were properly closed. One ongoing concern is a tree planting request submitted in April 2024 that remains open as of the most recent data. The relatively low number of service requests and the resolution of most issues suggests limited recent major problems with the property, though the open tree planting request indicates some level of maintenance or improvement work may still be pending.

Risk rating

How 4255 W Leland Ave 1'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.
