Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8454 W Berwyn Ave in the O'Hare neighborhood, owned by Rose Hunter, has been in existence since 1965 and has maintained a relatively low frequency of service requests over the past seven years, totaling just three recorded incidents. The most recent service request, dated May 18, 2026, pertained to garbage cart maintenance and was handled by the Alderman's office. Prior to this, there was a street infrastructure issue with a pothole reported on May 14, 2025, and a tree trimming request submitted on February 21, 2025, though it's worth noting that this particular type of request is no longer being accepted through standard channels. All three service requests have been officially closed, and no incidents directly related to the building's internal conditions or resident safety have been reported in the available data. The minimal number of service requests over this extended period could suggest either effective property management or limited reporting of issues, though no definitive conclusions can be drawn about resident experience from the available records alone.

Risk rating

How 8454 W Berwyn 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.
