AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4719 N Magnolia Ave in Uptown, owned by Helen Tanabe & N Knut, is a century-old property constructed in 1904. The building's recent history has been marked by multiple sanitation-related issues, particularly in early 2026, with three missed garbage pick-up complaints logged between February 6 and February 10 of that year, all of which have since been resolved. The property has also experienced some sanitation code violations, with two such incidents recorded in May 2026, one of which remains open as of the latest available data. Additionally, there is a building violation complaint filed in May 2026 that is currently still open. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 11 service requests through the 311 system, though this represents a relatively limited number of complaints for a property of its age and size.

Risk rating

How 4719 N Magnolia 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

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.
