Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 4026 N Kenmore in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Elpidia M Shiozaki, has experienced a notable cluster of maintenance issues in recent months. Of particular concern are the recurring incidents of graffiti, with six documented requests for removal between May and September 2025, three of which remain open as of the latest record. The property has also faced challenges with weed management, as evidenced by a closed removal request from late July 2025. While the building has maintained its function as a multi-unit residence since its construction in 1898, the recent pattern of service requests suggests ongoing environmental maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity, particularly during the summer months of 2025.

Risk rating

How 4026 N Kenmore 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.
