Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 4753 W North in Austin, built in 1911 and currently owned by Vinyu Tosakulwong, has experienced a significant number of documented issues over the past seven years, totaling 28 building violations and 25 service requests. Most notably, there are seven ongoing unresolved building code violations from February 2021, with one violation from December 2025 also remaining unresolved. The property has also been subject to multiple 311 service requests in recent years, particularly in 2026, with the majority of these relating to animal-related issues such as stray animals and a nuisance animal complaint, all of which have been resolved. Environmental concerns have been documented over a longer timeline, with complaints dating back to 1999-2007, including incidents involving noise, toxic materials, and air pollution, with fines assessed in July 2005 totaling $200. While two building permits have been issued in the past seven years, the high number of unresolved building code violations and the persistence of building violations throughout the years are notable concerns regarding the property's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 4753 W North'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.
