Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4824 S Champlain Ave in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by Drumcarn Properties, was constructed in 2004 and has maintained relatively low activity levels over the past seven years, with a total of four 311 service requests, one building permit, and one environmental complaint on record. The most recent events, all occurring in 2025 and early 2026, primarily involved tree-related issues, including two tree trimming requests in December 2025 and January 2026, as well as an emergency tree situation in April 2025. These incidents suggest ongoing maintenance of the property's landscaping, though it's worth noting that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted through the 311 system. The only health and safety concern recorded was a rodent baiting/rat complaint in September 2024, which was promptly addressed and closed. Looking further back, an environmental complaint related to construction and demolition activities was filed in September 2022, with an alleged violation founded and resolved within three days. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one permit issued in the seven-year period, though this doesn't necessarily indicate any issues.

Risk rating

How 4824 S Champlain 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

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
64thpercentile
