Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story multi-family building at 4145 N Bernard St in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Gary R Carlson, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most concerning are the six open building code violations from August 30, 2021, which stemmed from a complaint-driven inspection and remain unresolved as of the most recent data. The property has a significant history of service requests, with 596 total under the current ownership, though only six have been filed specifically for this address in the past seven years. Recent maintenance issues are reflected in multiple closed service requests, including three parking-related enforcement reviews between October 2024 and January 2025, a snow-related sidewalk complaint in December 2025, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in September 2025.

Risk rating

How 4145 N Bernard St 2Ndfl'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.
