Unlock complete reportThe 13-unit residential building at 2020 W Birchwood in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by Senad Perazic, has been standing since 1913 and has experienced a relatively low number of documented issues over the past seven years. The building is currently facing an unresolved periodic routine inspection violation as of September 2025, while another routine inspection violation from July 2020 has been resolved. The property has generated a total of 22 service requests through the 311 system during this period, though very few of these directly pertain to the building itself. Most recent 311 requests (from late 2025 through early 2026) have been related to street maintenance and public way concerns, including pothole and ice/snow removal issues, rather than building-specific problems. A restaurant complaint was also logged in August 2025, though its relation to the building's operations or conditions is unclear. While the building's documented violation and service request history is not extensive, the presence of an open routine inspection violation is worth noting as the most significant current issue on record.
How 2020 W Birchwood Chicago'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
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
Out of 1536 buildings in this neighborhood, 1275 are predicted to be safer.
