Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4153 N Hermitage Ave in Lake View, owned by Hilario V Orias, was constructed in 1923 and has had several noteworthy incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are two open building code violations as of May 2024, which remain unresolved. The property has experienced some environmental challenges, including a noise complaint in June 2024 and a construction and demolition complaint in October 2024, though the latter was investigated and no violations were found. Service requests to the city have been relatively frequent, with 17 total reports in the past seven years, including several recent issues in early 2026 regarding street potholes and waste management services. Two building permits have been issued during this period, though the nature of the work was not specified in the records. While the property has not had any major safety incidents or severe violations on record, the presence of unresolved building code violations warrants attention, particularly as they represent the most significant recent issue impacting the property.

Risk rating

How 4153 N Hermitage 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.
