Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60639 13344280310000 3 units · 1911

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 three-unit, 1911 residential building at 4120 W North Ave in Humboldt Park, currently owned by Yosra Shehadeh, has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property, which consists of a single parcel, has generated only four 311 service requests during this period, all of which occurred in 2025-2026. Most of these requests have been related to external maintenance concerns, including two graffiti removal requests (one in October 2025 and another in April 2026), and a recycling cart request (also in April 2026). The most recent service request, filed in May 2026, pertains to an inspection of the public way and remains open at the time of this report. Notably, there has been only one building permit issued in the past seven years, though the specific details and purpose of this permit are not provided in the available data. The relatively low number of service requests and permits could indicate either stable building conditions or limited reporting of issues, though no direct conclusions about building conditions should be drawn solely from this data.

Risk rating

How 4120 W North Ave'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.

Neighborhood percentile
15thpercentile
