Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4100 S Albany Ave 2 in the Brighton Park neighborhood, owned by Yanhong Chen, has been in operation since 1927 and has generated a total of nine 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent and persistent issues have been concentrated around street lighting, with three separate complaints about non-functioning street lights reported in June 2026 through both the 311 City Services and Alderman channels, all of which remain open as of the latest data. Earlier in 2026, there was a sewer cleaning inspection request initiated through Alderman services that is also currently open. The property has seen two other service requests in recent years: a water management issue concerning an open fire hydrant in January 2026, which has since been closed, and a report of an injured animal in September 2025, which was also resolved. While the building itself has generated relatively few complaints directly related to its condition or management, the surrounding infrastructure issues, particularly the recurring street lighting concerns, may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 4100 S Albany Ave 2'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.
