Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8318 W Summerdale Ave in Norwood Park, owned by Leonard Kunicki, has a relatively minimal service record over the past seven years, with only three documented 311 service requests. All three complaints, filed by different individuals, pertained to abandoned vehicles in December and September of 2025, as well as February 2025, and all three cases have been closed. These complaints were handled through standard city services channels and appear to have been resolved without ongoing issues. The building, constructed in 1964, stands alone as a single parcel property, and aside from these vehicle-related incidents, there are no other documented service requests or significant events on record for this address, suggesting a generally stable and compliant property history.

Risk rating

How 8318 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.
