Initial analysis

The 4231 N Kenmore building is an 8-unit residential property located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. Built in 1997 and currently owned by Patrick Gibbons, this property has maintained relatively low violation and service request records over the past 7 years. However, there is an open building code violation from April 2025 that remains unresolved, which warrants attention. The building has recorded a total of 2 owner-initiated violations during this period, along with 69 service requests. The majority of recent service requests between 2024 and 2025 have been successfully resolved, including various matters such as parking code enforcement reviews, graffiti removal, building violations, recycling pick-up, and an abandoned vehicle complaint. While the quantity of service requests might seem high, many of these are routine municipal matters rather than direct building-related issues. It's worth noting that the most recent violation and service request records show no pattern of recurring problems, and most issues have been addressed promptly through normal municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 4231 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

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.
