Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 4133 W Berteau Ave 1W in Irving Park, owned by Scott Miller and constructed in 1920, has generated relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 18 requests attributed to the owner across two parcels. The majority of recent complaints, specifically between December 2025 and February 2026, have been related to winter weather conditions, including multiple reports of uncleared sidewalks and one instance of an ice and snow removal request, all of which have been marked as closed. Additionally, there were two street-related complaints in 2026, including a pothole complaint and a report of an abandoned vehicle, both of which have also been resolved. These service requests, while representing the building's total 311 interactions, primarily reflect seasonal weather challenges in the surrounding area rather than building-specific issues. The relatively low number of complaints over a seven-year span suggests minimal ongoing concerns, though it's worth noting that the most recent winter weather incidents appear to be a recurring seasonal issue in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 4133 W Berteau Ave 1W'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.
