Unlock complete reportThe 8-unit residential building at 4905 S Michigan Avenue in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by Schonback Properties L, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1897. The building's recent service request activity has been concentrated in 2026, with multiple requests for vacant lot cleaning and tree trimming, two of which remain open as of the latest records. The property has also seen multiple requests for sidewalk inspections and a plumbing violation in October 2025 that has since been closed. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system, with the majority being resolved. In terms of building permits, three have been issued during this period, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available records. While the building's age and history are significant, the focus of recent service requests has been primarily related to exterior maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns, with no recorded safety violations or major resident-related incidents in the available seven-year data window.

How 4905 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
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.
Out of 1162 buildings in this neighborhood, 860 are predicted to be safer.
