AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3911 N Kostner Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by William Pekoc III, has had relatively few service requests on record over the past seven years, with a total of six documented incidents. The property, constructed in 1912, has maintained an average service request rate for its age and size. The most recent incidents in 2025 involved three sewer-related issues, including inspections for both cleaning and a cave-in, along with one street-related complaint about a pothole. Prior to these, there were two street pothole complaints in 2024, and the only non-road-related request was for tree planting in May 2024, which appears to have been processed as one of the two requests (one marked as open and one as closed). While the recent concentration of sewer and street-related issues might be of interest, it's worth noting that the majority of requests have been successfully closed, suggesting they were addressed by the appropriate authorities.

Risk rating

How 3911 N Kostner Ave 1St'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.
