Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 4918 W Augusta in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Austin Holdings LLC, has a concerning recent history marked by multiple unresolved building code violations and persistent sanitation issues. Most notably, there are currently seven open building code violations from March 2026, along with two additional unresolved violations from November 2025 and February 2024. The property has experienced significant rodent and sanitation problems, with four rodent complaints and two sanitation code violation reports filed between April and May 2026 alone, though these have been marked as closed. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated 16 building violations and 24 service requests through 311, while the owner has a much larger total of 105 building violations and 152 service requests across three parcels. The only building permit on record in this period was issued in 2016, suggesting minimal recent construction or maintenance activity. The building, constructed in 1929, appears to be facing ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life, with particular attention needed on the open violations status as of 2026.

Risk rating

How 4918 W Augusta 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.
