Lincoln Square, Chicago IL 60625 13121150090000 2 units · 1948

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2937 W Summerdale Ave in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Adlan Kraja, has been in operation since 1948 and has generated 16 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The property has experienced several notable issues over this period, with the most concerning being a rodent baiting/rat complaint in May 2025 and a fly dumping complaint in December 2024, both of which were successfully resolved. There were also two separate incidents of dead animal removal requests, one in October 2024 and another in May 2025, both of which were addressed. The building's maintenance needs were highlighted by an August 2024 tree trimming request, though it's worth noting that this particular request type is no longer being accepted. Most recently, a tree planting request was submitted in June 2026 and remains open at the time of this report. While the property has experienced its share of environmental and pest-related issues, it's important to note that all service requests within this period have been addressed except for the most recent tree planting request.

Risk rating

How 2937 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.

Neighborhood percentile
23rdpercentile
