Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 4400 W Altgeld Street in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Nick Lemperis, was constructed in 1927 and currently has one outstanding building code violation as of April 2025, which was initiated through a complaint-driven inspection and remains unresolved. The property has generated a total of 21 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. This recent influx of service requests primarily concerns tree trimming, with four separate requests recorded between February and April 2026, though these specific requests are no longer being accepted. The building's only other documented service request in this period was a street light outage reported in May 2025, which has since been closed, and there is currently an open complaint regarding a pothole in the street as of April 2026.

Risk rating

How 4400 W Altgeld 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

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.
