Initial analysis

The 26-unit residential building at 4844 W Henderson in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Kelvyn Park Properties, has been under scrutiny over the past several years, with building violations and service requests recorded since 2022. The property, constructed in 1929, has experienced some ongoing regulatory challenges, as evidenced by multiple periodic routine inspections in 2025, though these were ultimately resolved. More concerning are two unresolved violations from late 2024 and early 2022, which suggest potential ongoing compliance issues. The building has generated an above-average number of service requests, totaling 31 in the past seven years. Recent service requests predominantly relate to property maintenance and neighborhood concerns, including yard waste pick-up, abandoned vehicles, and fly dumping complaints, all of which have been resolved. The most recent complaint in September 2025 regarding Divvy bike parking was also closed. While many issues have been addressed through the 311 system, the presence of open building code violations warrants attention, particularly given the historical significance and age of the structure.

Risk rating

How 4844 W Henderson Chicago'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.
