Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 2836 W Summerdale Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood is a 1948 structure currently owned by S & D BASIC. The property's documented history over the past 15 years shows a relatively low volume of service requests, with a total of 11 311 service calls in the past seven years. Most recently, in May 2026, there have been multiple complaints about potholes in the street near the property, with two active reports still awaiting resolution. Two tree-related incidents were reported in 2025, including a tree emergency in May that has not yet been resolved and a tree debris clean-up request from August that was closed. Additional documented incidents include a business complaint in January 2025 and a completed water lead test visit in January 2025, which may have been part of regular health and safety protocols. Of note, there was an unspecified environmental complaint logged in November 2007, though details are not provided in the current records. The building's overall service request history suggests periodic maintenance and infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, particularly regarding street conditions and vegetation management, though there are no documented safety incidents or resident complaints directly related to the building itself in recent years.
How 2836 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
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.
Out of 2564 buildings in this neighborhood, 949 are predicted to be safer.
