AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 4837 N Kenmore Ave, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, is a three-story structure built in 1904 and currently owned by Jarvis Richards. The building's recent history, particularly over the past seven years, shows minimal documented violations, with a total of two recorded incidents during this period. However, the most pressing concern comes from two complaint-driven inspection violations logged on November 13, 2023, which remain open and unresolved as of the current date. While the building has had only these two documented violations in recent years, the fact that both are recent and currently unresolved may warrant attention to their nature and potential impact on resident conditions.

Risk rating

How 4837 N Kenmore Ave 3'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.
