Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4318 N Leavitt St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Michael Guinane Jr., has been standing since 1915 and has experienced a notable pattern of service requests in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been seven recorded 311 service requests associated with the property, with all complaints being resolved promptly according to their closed status. The majority of these incidents between 2025 and 2026 have been related to street lighting issues, with three complaints specifically about street light pole damage and one about a malfunctioning street light in 2026. Notably, there have been three separate requests for tree debris clean-up between February and November 2025, indicating that the property's surrounding area may have experienced some seasonal vegetation challenges during that year. While the building's overall service request frequency appears relatively low, with no reported internal building issues or tenant complaints, the concentration of lighting and tree-related service requests in 2025-2026 suggests these were priority areas for municipal attention in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 4318 N Leavitt 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.
