Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4809 S Langley Ave in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood is a historic property dating back to 1888, currently owned by Klaus Peter Adam. The property's documented service history over the past seven years shows a total of ten 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026, consisting of two yard waste pick-up requests in May and April of that year. The building experienced a cluster of maintenance-related requests in late 2025, including two tree trim requests in November, a garbage cart maintenance request in October, and a water lead test kit request in September - the latter being particularly noteworthy as it pertains to water quality concerns. While all reported service requests have been officially closed, the concentration of maintenance calls in the latter half of 2025, particularly related to environmental and infrastructure matters, could be of interest to observers of the building's care and upkeep.

Risk rating

How 4809 S Langley 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.
