Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3916 N Osceola Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Alicja Jonik Bowling, has been standing since 1924 and has a relatively limited service request history over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of issues occurred in June 2026, when three separate street-related lighting problems were reported - two street light outages (both subsequently closed) and one alley light outage complaint that remains open. Prior to this, there were two additional service requests: one for a blue recycling cart in May 2026 that is still open, and a water lead test kit request in July 2025 that also remains unresolved. The only record from 2024 was an informational call to 311 that was properly closed. While the building has had some maintenance and service requests, particularly regarding street lighting and environmental concerns, the overall frequency of issues should be viewed in the context of its nearly 100-year history.

Risk rating

How 3916 N Osceola 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
