Initial analysis

The property at 4256 W Addison St is a 4-unit residential building located in Irving Park, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Mehmet Neim. The building's recent maintenance record shows relatively few issues, with only two 311 service requests documented over the past seven years directly related to the building itself - both of which remain open as of October 2023. These requests, filed in August 2025 and December 2024, respectively, concern a sign repair and a water lead testing kit, indicating some attention to building safety and maintenance. The property has had minimal permitted construction work in the past seven years, with only one building permit recorded directly for the structure, though the ownership records show two building permits across four parcels. The overall service request history for the owner shows a total of 56 requests, suggesting considerable engagement with city services for various properties, though this number includes all properties owned and not just the Addison Street building. While the limited number of building-related service requests and permits might suggest minimal recent maintenance activity, it is important to note that not all property issues necessarily result in formal service requests or permits being filed.

Risk rating

How 4256 W Addison 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

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
34thpercentile
