Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4142 N Southport Ave, located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, is an 1890 construction currently owned by Olga D Chuqul. The property has maintained a relatively clean service record over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 service requests during this period. Both incidents occurred in 2024, approximately three months apart. The first was a traffic signal out complaint filed on June 22, 2024, and the second was a graffiti removal request submitted on April 27, 2024. Both service requests have been closed, though the records do not provide specific details about the nature or outcome of these issues. Given the limited number of service requests on file, there appears to be no significant pattern or persistent maintenance concerns associated with this property.

Risk rating

How 4142 N Southport 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

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.
