Unlock complete reportThe 29-unit residential building at 4556 N Dover in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Dover 29 LLC and constructed in 1918, has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past two decades. Most concerning is the recent environmental enforcement action in September 2025, where the property was fined $5,000 (two violations at $2,500 each) for illegal sandblasting, grinding, and chemical washing activities that violated lead paint abatement standards. This incident was recorded alongside an air pollution complaint that resulted in a founded violation. The building's recent history includes multiple open 311 service requests from 2026, such as tree emergency, building violation, and water-related issues, though some earlier requests for tree trimming and a rodent complaint were resolved. The property has had five building violations documented in the past seven years, with the most recent batch resulting in compliance as of February 2025, though one remains open. Environmental concerns date back to 2005-2008, when complaints about asbestos and illegal dumping were recorded, and more recent air pollution work orders were filed in 2022-2025, with the most recent being founded.

How 4556 N Dover 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
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.
Out of 1226 buildings in this neighborhood, 883 are predicted to be safer.
