Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4717 S Kolin Ave in the Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Evelio Mireya Avila, has been standing since 1908 and has accumulated a noteworthy record over the past seven years. Most concerning are three unresolved building code violations from July 14, 2023, which were triggered by complaints and remain open as of the latest data. The property has also experienced 46 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with several notable issues emerging in recent years. Most recently, in 2026 alone, there have been requests for an "Inspect Public Way" evaluation and a "Water Lead Test Kit" which are both currently open, suggesting ongoing regulatory concerns. While some issues have been resolved, including a blue recycling cart request and a graffiti removal request in 2025, the presence of multiple unresolved violations and open service requests regarding public safety and environmental testing points to potential concerning trends in building maintenance and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 4717 S Kolin 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.
