Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 1929 residential building at 4606 N Elston in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, currently owned by Luna Apts LLC, has experienced several significant events over its documented history. Most notably, in early 2026, there were multiple service requests related to water issues, with two "No Water" complaints filed in February, followed by two pothole complaints in March, and two finance-related parking code enforcement reviews in April. The building has maintained a relatively low level of building permits in the past seven years, with only one permit issued on record. Environmental concerns have emerged periodically, with the most recent air pollution complaint logged in June 2023, though it was resolved within one day.

Risk rating

How 4606 N Elston Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
6thpercentile
