Initial analysis

The 38-unit residential building at 4266 N Hermitage in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Schermerhorn & Co, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident concerns over the past seven years since its construction in 1928. Most notably, there are unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in 2019 and 2025, indicating potential ongoing compliance issues that have not been addressed. The building has generated 31 building violations and 122 311 service requests under its current ownership, with the most concerning recent pattern being multiple water lead test kit requests in late 2024 and early 2025, including one that remains open as of the latest report. Other service requests have included a rodent baiting complaint in July 2025, a building violation report in September 2025, and a general information call to 311 in March 2025, all of which have been closed. While the building has obtained four building permits in the past seven years, the open violations and recent lead water testing requests suggest ongoing health and safety monitoring may be required in this property.

Risk rating

How 4266 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

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.
