AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4114 W Melrose St 1FL in Irving Park, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Ceilio S Roman, has experienced a notable pattern of regulatory activity over the past two years, particularly in 2024 and 2025. Most concerning are three unresolved complaint-driven violations recorded in March 2025, which add to the building's total of six violations over the past seven-year period. However, six violations from November 2024 were successfully resolved. The property has generated seven 311 service requests in the last seven years, with multiple instances of building permit and construction violation complaints in October 2024, though these were eventually closed. Other service requests included a sewer cave-in inspection in July 2025, and various infrastructure issues such as street light pole damage in June 2024, and a graffiti removal request in August 2024, all of which have been resolved. The building has had three building permits issued in the last seven years, though one of the building permit-related violations suggests some work may have occurred without proper authorization.

Risk rating

How 4114 W Melrose St 1Fl'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.
