AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 4825 S Forrestville Ave 1FL in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by Michael DeLong, was constructed in 1900 and has recently experienced multiple service incidents. Most notably, in January 2026, there were two consecutive reports of no water service, which were subsequently closed but merit attention regarding water system reliability. In 2024, the property had several notable incidents including a tree-related emergency in August, followed by a tree trimming request in October (the latter of which is no longer being accepted). Additionally, there were two separate animal-related incidents in mid-2024, including a vicious animal complaint in June and a report of an injured animal in May, both of which were resolved. While the building has only accumulated eight service requests over the past seven years, it's worth noting that the most recent issues in 2026 were water service-related, which could impact resident quality of life and safety.

Risk rating

How 4825 S Forrestville Ave 1Fl'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.
