Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 4414 N Clark Street in Uptown, constructed in 1914, is currently experiencing a cluster of unresolved issues that warrant attention. As of June 2026, there are multiple open building violations and construction-related complaints, including at least three no building permit violations and two building violations documented in the first half of June 2026 alone. The building is also currently facing two open violations from May 2026, one from a routine inspection and another from a complaint-driven inspection. This concerning pattern of unresolved violations is particularly notable given the building's documented history, which shows a significant number of violations and service requests across multiple years - including 816 violations and 2518 service requests over the past seven years under the current ownership. The property has also had one environmental enforcement case and one environmental complaint in recent years, with a valid noise complaint being resolved in May 2022.

Risk rating

How 4414 N Clark St'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.
