Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4851 N Ashland Ave in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood is a 1913 structure currently owned by Jesus Figueroa. The property has experienced a relatively low level of documented activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit issued during this period. The building has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in early 2026, where multiple finance-related Parking Code Enforcement Reviews were filed between January 8-9, and a leak inspection request was made in February. Prior to this recent activity, there were a sidewalk inspection request in November 2025, and a street light outage reported in October 2025. The historical record shows a generally stable property with few urgent maintenance concerns, though the recent cluster of parking-related complaints and the leak inspection request warrant attention, representing the most significant recent activity on record.

Risk rating

How 4851 N Ashland 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.
