Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 4338 N Clarendon Ave in Uptown, owned by 4338 Clarendon LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024. Most concerning is an ongoing pattern of water-related issues, with five recent complaints about water on the street reported in August 2026, along with an open alley sewer inspection request. The building underwent construction work in 2023 that resulted in two environmental complaints related to construction and demolition in August and September, which were resolved but not before triggering two $1,000 fines for construction site cleanliness violations under code 11-4-765(2)(b) and (2)(c).

Risk rating

How 4338 N Clarendon 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.

Neighborhood percentile
54thpercentile
