Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 4031 W Kamerling Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Arthington Properties, has a concerning record over the past seven years, particularly in recent years. Built in 1908, this property has accumulated a total of 10 building violations, with the most recent batch of four unresolved complaint-driven inspections recorded in February 2026, all of which remain open as of October 2023. Prior to these, there were two additional open violations from May 2025, indicating an ongoing pattern of compliance issues. The property has also generated 19 service requests to 311 over the past seven years, with multiple sanitation-related concerns emerging in 2025, including rodent baiting/rat complaints, sanitation code violations, and missed garbage pick-up reports between July and December 2025. This cluster of issues suggests persistent challenges with building maintenance and sanitation in the immediate vicinity. While three service requests from late 2025 did receive closure, including a building violation complaint and a garbage cart maintenance request, the sheer number of recent violations and service requests indicates that this property may be experiencing significant management and maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 4031 W Kamerling Ave 1'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
89thpercentile
