Initial analysis

The 38-unit residential building at 4247 N Hermitage in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Hayes Properties Inc., has been in existence since 1928 and has experienced several significant events over the past seven years. The property has documented 22 building violations during this period, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the record. While the building has had relatively few maintenance requests - totaling only 316 through the 311 system - the most recent activity suggests some attention to infrastructure and safety concerns, including a water lead test kit request and a plumbing violation in early 2026, both of which are particularly noteworthy given their potential impact on resident health and safety. The building has also had one environmental enforcement action and one environmental complaint in the past seven years, though the details of these incidents are not specified. The property's permit activity has been limited, with only four building permits issued during this period. Other service requests have been relatively minor, including a street light outage complaint, which was also resolved.

Risk rating

How 4247 N Hermitage 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.
