Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4124 W Oakdale Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood has been under the ownership of Celine Witherell since its construction in 1924. The property's record over the past seven years shows a total of five service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activities occurring in 2026. Notably, there is currently an open complaint from July 2024 regarding no building permit and construction violations, which represents the only ongoing issue on record. The building has experienced some maintenance concerns in 2026, including requests for rodent baiting and both blue recycling and garbage cart maintenance in April of that year. Prior to these, there was a street light outage complaint in September 2024. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a two-unit building over this period, the presence of both a current open construction permit violation and a recent rodent complaint could be of concern to current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 4124 W Oakdale 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.
