Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The six-unit, three-story multi-family building at 4919 W Adams St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Angel Realty Group LLC, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2023, six complaint-driven inspections were initiated, all of which remain open and unresolved as of now. The property has a documented history of sanitation and pest-related problems, with three rodent-related complaints and two sanitation code violations reported between December 2024 and July 2026, though only one (a fly dumping complaint from July 2025) remains unresolved from that period. The building's recent history is particularly troubling, with multiple open violations and service requests extending into 2026, suggesting ongoing maintenance and management challenges.

Risk rating

How 4919 W Adams St'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
3rdpercentile
