Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4162 W Cornelia Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Russell & Susana Boykin, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The most significant recurring issue appears to be water-related problems, with three reported instances of street water complaints between July 2025 and May 2026, suggesting a potentially persistent drainage or plumbing issue in the vicinity. Additionally, there were two separate reports of abandoned vehicles in November 2025, indicating possible concerns with parking or street maintenance in the immediate area. The property has also had administrative matters addressed through 311 services, including a blue recycling cart request in January 2026, which was properly resolved. While all reported issues have been closed, the frequency of water-related incidents, particularly in the most recent reporting period, may warrant attention to ongoing maintenance or infrastructure conditions affecting the property's immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 4162 W Cornelia 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.
