Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 4053 N Leavitt St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by GPA 4053 LLC, has been under regular inspection and service request patterns over the past decades. The late 2020s (April 2026) saw multiple closed yard waste pick-up requests, with six such requests documented between April and June 2026, suggesting ongoing maintenance of common areas or yard space. The property has undergone routine periodic inspections, with the most recent three inspections in April 2023 and two in July 2021 being resolved, though notably, there remains one open periodic routine inspection violation from June 2020. Looking further back, there was a single environmental complaint regarding hazardous materials in December 1999, though no subsequent issues in this category have been recorded. The building has experienced a total of eight building code violations and 25 service requests over the past seven years, according to the Chicago Master Building Record, though all recent inspection violations have been complied with, demonstrating responsive remediation to identified issues.

Risk rating

How 4053 N Leavitt St'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

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.
