Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4605 N Kasson Ave 1 in Albany Park, owned by Hortencia Becerril, is a 1926 structure currently facing multiple unresolved issues. As of June 2025, there are five open violations resulting from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on June 5, 2025, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's recent history shows a pattern of concerns requiring municipal attention, with a total of 11 service requests made through the 311 system in the past seven years, including three building-related violations (two in May 2025 and one in November 2024), two instances of garbage cart maintenance issues (March 2025 and August 2024), and one rodent-related complaint (November 2024). The only building permit on record in this period was issued prior to these documented issues in March 2024 for a tree planting project, which was subsequently completed in September 2025. While some of the service requests and violations have been resolved (as indicated by their "Closed" status), the current open violations present a significant concern regarding the building's compliance with housing codes and resident safety standards.

Risk rating

How 4605 N Kasson 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.
