Lincoln Square, Chicago IL 60625 13121160060000 2 units · 1953

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 2841 W Summerdale Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Dean Georgakakis, has been in service since 1953 and has generated 12 documented service requests over the past seven years. The most recent pattern of complaints has centered around rodent issues, with three rat complaints filed between September and October 2024, and another one in October 2025, suggesting a recurring pest control challenge in the vicinity. Additionally, there have been maintenance requests related to waste management, including recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance in October 2024, potentially indicating issues with refuse handling in the area. A tree emergency was reported and subsequently resolved in July 2025. While all documented service requests have been marked as closed, the frequency and nature of the pest-related complaints warrant attention, as they represent the most significant and potentially concerning pattern in the building's service history.

Risk rating

How 2841 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.
