Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 4852 W Diversey, owned by Addison Lake LLC, was constructed in 1925 and is located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood. The property has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, with the most significant being a cluster of five complaint-driven inspections conducted on February 19, 2020, all of which have been resolved satisfactorily. While the building's current code violations and service requests appear to be minimal in the past couple of years, with only two 311 service requests recorded in 2025-2026 (one for a water lead test kit and another regarding a street pothole), the aggregate numbers for the owner show a total of 75 building violations and 29 service requests over the past seven years. Additionally, only three building permits have been filed under the owner's name during this period. The relatively high number of total violations compared to recent activity suggests that many historical issues may have been addressed, though the building's age and the nature of residential facilities warrant ongoing attention to maintenance and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 4852 W Diversey 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.
