Initial analysis

The 13-unit, 1912 building at 4736 N Beacon in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, currently owned by Amparo Q Gorski, has experienced significant recent concerns regarding its maintenance and occupancy status. Most notably, in September 2021, the property underwent a series of periodic routine inspections that resulted in one unresolved violation, though six other violations from that same date were resolved. The building's situation appears to have deteriorated recently, with three vacant/abandoned building complaints filed between January and April 2026, and the most recent such complaint still marked as open as of May 2026. The property also had some historical maintenance issues, as evidenced by two building violation reports in 2025 and one water-on-street incident in April 2026, though these were all resolved. While the building has had only one building permit filed in the past seven years, its most pressing concern appears to be the current unresolved complaint about its vacant status, which could potentially impact neighborhood safety and security.

Risk rating

How 4736 N Beacon 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

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.
