Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4564 N Elston Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood was constructed in 1990 and is currently owned by Sakid & S Hodzic. The property has a relatively clean record over the past 13 years, with only one environmental complaint filed in December 2005 regarding air pollution, and an open code violation noted from November 2013 related to improper operation instructions for process equipment. In the most recent seven-year period, there have been six documented 311 service requests, all clustered within early 2025. These recent requests included three reports of abandoned vehicles, a missed garbage pick-up complaint, and two graffiti removal requests, all of which have been processed and closed. The concentration of service requests in early 2025, particularly regarding street-related issues such as abandoned vehicles and graffiti, suggests some recent challenges in the immediate vicinity, though these appear to be primarily related to external factors rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 4564 N Elston 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.
