Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 4539 W Wellington in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by Kelvy Park Prop LLC, has experienced several notable issues in recent years according to city records. Most significantly, there are four unresolved building code violations from June 3, 2021, which resulted from complaint-driven inspections and remain open as of the latest data. In 2026, the building has generated multiple service requests, with the most concerning being three separate rodent-related complaints between February 17 and February 26, all of which were resolved through baiting services. Other documented issues in 2026 include an abandoned vehicle complaint and a sidewalk inspection request, both of which remain open, as well as a resolved stop sign repair request in March 2026. While the property has had periods of maintenance and response activity, the presence of open violations from 2021 and multiple service requests related to pest control in early 2026 highlight ongoing maintenance concerns that may affect resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 4539 W Wellington Chicago'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.
