Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 8626 W Summerdale Ave in the O'Hare neighborhood, owned by Giuseppe Inserra, has been standing since 1972 and has generated a limited number of service requests over the past seven years. The property's record shows a total of five 311 service requests directly related to the building itself, with an additional four requests made for street-related issues in the vicinity. The most recent incidents include two tree trim requests in late 2025 and two pothole complaints in 2024, both of which have been closed. A plumbing violation was recorded and addressed in May 2024, marking the only buildings-related service request in the past few years. While the building's 311 service request history is relatively minimal for its age and unit count, the closed nature of all reported issues suggests that previous concerns have been addressed. The property ownership is listed with two total parcels under the same name, but no significant ownership or management-related events are recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 8626 W Summerdale 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.

Neighborhood percentile
