Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4928 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Chan H Lee, has experienced several significant events over the past seven years. Most notably, there are three unresolved building code violations documented through complaint-driven inspections in 2021 and 2022, with no indicated resolution as of October 2023. These open violations represent ongoing compliance issues that potentially impact resident safety and building standards. The property faced environmental enforcement actions in May 2021, including a resolved air pollution complaint and two construction site cleanliness violations related to chain link fencing (which resulted in a $500 fine) and fabric mesh (which was dismissed with no fine), though these issues were subsequently closed. Two 311 service requests were filed in 2025-2026, pertaining to parking code enforcement and an abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which were resolved, though these matters were not directly related to building conditions. The combination of open building code violations and past environmental enforcement actions suggests a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges that may affect resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 4928 N Claremont 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.
