Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 4300 W Kamerling Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by KEZO LLC, is a 1916 structure that has maintained relatively few official complaints over the past seven years. The building's record shows only one building code violation during this period, which occurred in October 2019 related to a permit inspection, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has generated five 311 service requests since 2024, with the most recent being a garbage cart maintenance issue in January 2026. The other service requests included a street light outage and a city vehicle sticker violation in June 2025, and another garbage cart maintenance request in May 2025, along with a sidewalk inspection request in October 2024. While the number of 311 service requests is modest for a multi-unit building of this age, most of them relate to routine municipal services rather than structural or safety concerns, with all being marked as closed. The records suggest regular communication with city services for maintenance of common areas and street-related matters, though the most recent requests from 2025-2026 are not typical for residential housing issues.

Risk rating

How 4300 W Kamerling Ave'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.

Neighborhood percentile
5thpercentile

Out of 6229 buildings in this neighborhood, 5918 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Total building square footage is a proxy for property scale and management complexity.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
