Initial analysis

The 29-unit apartment building at 4715 N Malden in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, currently owned by Malden Commons 29 LLC, has been the subject of numerous unresolved issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open building code violations from February 2024 and 2026, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections, along with a periodic routine inspection violation from June 2022 that remains unresolved. The property has experienced a significant number of 311 service requests in the past seven years, totaling 21, with the most recent incidents in June 2026 involving tree-related emergencies and clean-up efforts, though one of these requests has since been closed. There have been two sanitation code violations in February 2026 that were resolved, and notably, a tree trim request from February 2026 was submitted during a period when such requests were no longer being accepted. While the building was constructed in 1913 and has maintained its historical status, the concentration of recent complaints and violations, particularly those that remain unresolved, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, though it should be noted that most building violations on record have been issued through complaint-driven inspections rather than routine inspections. The only recorded environmental complaint dates back to 2004 and concerned noise issues, though there have been no similar complaints reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4715 N Malden 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.
