Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4843 N Kostner Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by A & N Laboy & S Ogrady, has had a limited but notable service request history over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of ten 311 service requests, with the most recent incident being a stray animal complaint filed in May 2026. While the building's overall service request volume is relatively low for its age, some concerning patterns have emerged in recent years. Of particular note is an open water lead test kit request from September 2025, which warrants attention given its potential implications for resident health and safety. The property has experienced several maintenance-related issues, including rodent problems (August 2025), garbage collection discrepancies (missed pick-up in December 2024), and waste management concerns (garbage cart maintenance in August 2025). Additionally, a tree trim request was submitted in October 2024, though it's worth noting that this particular type of request is no longer being accepted by the city.

Risk rating

How 4843 N Kostner 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.
