Belmont Cragin, Chicago IL 60639 13332290290000 6 units · 1930

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3rd-floor residential building at 4854 W Armitage Ave, located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood and owned by Kantercooper LLC 3, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several notable events over its history. Most recently, between 2025 and 2026, there have been multiple service requests indicating various maintenance issues, including concerns about a vacant/abandoned building, a building violation, a street light outage, an alley pothole, and a fly dumping incident, all of which were subsequently closed. Of particular significance is a historical environmental complaint from September 2003 regarding hazardous materials, and several administrative violations from July 2010 related to the Chicago Municipal Code (specifically sections 11-4-1500 and 7-28-440), though these cases were marked as closed with no fines imposed. While the most recent service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that all these issues have been resolved according to city records.

Risk rating

How 4854 W Armitage Ave 3R'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.
