Initial analysis

The 28-unit, 1967 residential building at 4725 S Michigan Avenue in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, currently owned by DL 4725 S Michigan LLC, has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent months, with multiple unresolved violations and inspections. Of particular concern are six open complaint-driven violations from February 2026, along with an unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from March 2026. The building has a documented history of building code issues, with 81 violations recorded in the past seven years, and a pattern of service requests to city authorities, totaling 42 over the same period. Recent 311 service requests include a fly dumping complaint and plumbing violation in March 2026, a building violation related to fire safety in February 2026, and an abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which have been closed. The building has also faced environmental concerns, including two air pollution complaints, with the most recent documented case in November 2021, which was referred to other departments for resolution. This property’s extensive record of building violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, though many recent requests have been addressed or closed.

Risk rating

How 4725 S Michigan Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
