AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4711 N Kiona Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Christopher Gajda, has been minimally documented in city records since its construction in 1903. The property has two active tree-related service requests as of the summer of 2025, including one recent planting request from July 2025 and another pending planting request from April 2024, suggesting ongoing urban greening efforts in the vicinity. The building's recent service request history shows eight total 311 calls in the past seven years, with three of those related to abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025 (two in April and one in July). Prior to these, there was one tree removal inspection request and one tree planting request in April 2024, along with a successfully completed tree planting request from April 2024. Going further back in history, there was an asbestos-related environmental complaint recorded in August 2010, though this appears to be the only documented environmental issue on record. The limited number of service requests and complaints over the years suggests relatively stable building conditions, with most recent concerns focusing on street tree management rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 4711 N Kiona 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
