Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8654 W Berwyn Ave 2S in the O'Hare neighborhood, owned by Andrzej Barbara Kabat and constructed in 1974, has generated a moderate number of service requests and violations over the past seven years. The building's recent maintenance history (2025-2026) shows recurring issues with street conditions in front of the property, evidenced by two pothole complaints, and concerns about local wildlife management, with one recent rodent baiting request. There were also some environmental management issues noted, including a fly dumping complaint in November 2025. The property has recorded three building violations over the seven-year period, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. Two tree trimming requests were submitted in April 2025, though such requests are no longer being accepted according to the system. While the number of service requests is not excessive for a building of this age, the pattern of recent street maintenance and pest-related complaints could be of interest to potential residents, though these issues seem primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 8654 W Berwyn Ave 2S'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.
