Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4636 N Kenmore Ave in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by WM T Okumura and constructed in 1899, has maintained relatively few issues over the past seven years. The property has only one recorded building code violation from November 2019 related to permit inspection requirements, which remains open as of the latest records. In terms of service requests, there have been 16 recorded incidents, with the most recent activity showing a pattern of pest control and maintenance issues: two rodent-related complaints were filed on February 21, 2025, followed by a dead animal pick-up request in March 2025. The building has also required tree removal inspection services in May 2025. While there have been two information-only calls to 311 in October 2025 and March 2026, these do not indicate any particular building-related concerns. The limited number of building violations and varied nature of service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and environmental management activities at the property, though the open building code violation from 2019 warrants attention from both management and residents alike.

Risk rating

How 4636 N Kenmore 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
49thpercentile
