Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4217 W Grace St in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Stephen K Milott, dates back to 1903. The property has experienced relatively minimal issues over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded during this period, dating back to January 2022, which remains unresolved at the time of this report. The building's service request history shows a total of 11 reported issues, with the most recent being multiple yard waste pick-up requests in May 2026, all of which have been properly resolved. Other notable service requests include a blue recycling cart request in January 2026, a street light pole damage complaint in September 2025, and a rodent baiting/rating complaint in June 2025, all of which were closed appropriately. While the building has had some maintenance and civic issues addressed through 311 service requests, the relatively small number of complaints and violations over this extended period suggests basic regulatory compliance, though the open building code violation from 2022 warrants attention as it directly pertains to building safety and habitability.

Risk rating

How 4217 W Grace St'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.
