AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4721 S Kedvale Ave in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Jose Gonzalez, has a mixed record since its construction in 1927. The property has generated a notable volume of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with a total of 210 service requests and 28 building violations recorded under the current ownership. While the most recent 311 service request from February 2025 pertains to a closed nuisance animal complaint, this appears to be an isolated incident compared to the overall volume of service requests. The property has also been issued 9 building permits in the past seven years, suggesting some level of maintenance and improvements. It's worth noting that the records show significant permit and violation activity across the owner's 26 parcels, though this particular building's record is relatively typical in terms of service requests and violations when compared to the owner's entire portfolio.

Risk rating

How 4721 S Kedvale 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
