Initial analysis

The property at 4901 S Avers Ave in the Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Szyjkowny Funeral Home, is a two-unit building constructed in 1963. The building's recent history shows relatively minimal code violations, with only one building violation recorded in the past seven years, though this was resolved through a periodic routine inspection in October 2025. The property has experienced multiple incidents of graffiti in 2024-2025, with four separate reports of graffiti removal requests in August 2024 alone, plus additional graffiti removal requests in April 2025 and November 2024, all of which have been closed. The building has also required attention to signage, with two sign repair requests documented in June 2024, both of which were subsequently resolved. The overall record shows that while the building has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, particularly related to graffiti and signage, these problems have been addressed promptly through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 4901 S Avers 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.
