AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 8240 W Forest Preserve Drive in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Danuta Liminowicz, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The most significant current concern is three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations opened in August 2025, which warrant attention as they remain outstanding. The property has had a total of three building code violations during this period. While there have been three 311 service requests associated with the property, these appear to be primarily related to external infrastructure rather than building-specific issues: a sewer cleaning inspection request (April 2026), a tree trim request (June 2024), and a street light outage complaint (May 2024), all of which were successfully closed. The building's documented history suggests some attention to property maintenance is required, particularly given the recent open violations, though it's worth noting that many recorded incidents relate to external public space matters rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 8240 W Forest Preserve Dr'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.

Neighborhood percentile
