Initial analysis

The property at 4907 S Kostner Ave is a two-unit residential building located in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Jordy A Estrada and constructed in 1941. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, with four open violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on July 15, 2021, all of which remain outstanding as of October 2023. While there have been some municipal service requests associated with the property, the majority of these were resolved relatively quickly: two water-related complaints on the street in May and July of 2024 were both closed, as was a garbage cart maintenance request from April 2026. The building's violation record, particularly the unresolved nature of the 2021 inspections, suggests potential ongoing compliance issues that merit attention, though the relatively recent nature of the water complaints and garbage maintenance issues might indicate more routine maintenance concerns rather than serious structural or safety problems.

Risk rating

How 4907 S Kostner 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.

Neighborhood percentile
