Initial analysis

The property at 4936 S Princeton Ave in Chicago's Fuller Park neighborhood is a two-unit building owned by Nick Deveros, dating back to 1897. Over the past seven years, there have been several notable events associated with this address. Most prominently, in late 2025, there were two building-related complaints filed within days of each other - one regarding a vacant or abandoned building and another citing a building violation, both of which have since been closed. Earlier in that same year, there was also a complaint regarding an abandoned vehicle near the property. Looking further back, in 2020, there was a construction and demolition-related environmental complaint, though investigators found no violations. The building's permit activity during this period shows only one permit being issued, and while there have been five total 311 service requests associated with the property, the majority of these incidents have been relatively minor issues that were resolved fairly quickly.

Risk rating

How 4936 S Princeton 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.
