Initial analysis

The 81-unit Stratford Lodge building at 4131 N Sheridan in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, constructed in 1927, has experienced consistent maintenance challenges over recent years. The property currently has multiple unresolved permit-related inspection violations from 2024, including two recent violations from July 2024 and another from March 2024, along with three open complaint-driven inspection violations from 2022. Between 2024 and 2023, there were four closed 311 service requests regarding air conditioning issues and three closed rodent-related complaints, suggesting ongoing concerns with building systems and pest management. The building has a documented history of noise complaints, with the most recent occurring in June 2026, though the alleged violation was not substantiated; earlier complaints were filed in 2004 and 1993, the latter involving air pollution. While there have been three building permits filed in the past seven years, the current list of open violations indicates that some recent permit-related issues remain unresolved, potentially affecting resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 4131 N Sheridan 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.
