New City, Chicago IL 60609 20081130130000 3 units · 1883

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4831 S Ada St in the New City neighborhood, owned by Karla G Lopez, is an 1883 structure that has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 25 reported service requests, with the most significant cluster occurring in early 2026. During this recent period, there have been five documented rodent-related incidents, including three complaints in 2026 (February, May, and June) and one in December 2025, all of which have been resolved except for the most recent rat complaint filed in June 2026, which remains open. The property has also required attention for tree debris cleanup (June 2026) and snow removal issues related to object/dibs (January 2026), with these two matters still pending resolution. The recurring nature of the rodent complaints over this period suggests an ongoing pest management challenge in and around this historical building, while the other service requests primarily relate to seasonal maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 4831 S Ada St'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.
