Initial analysis

The property at 3222 N Kostner Ave 1, located in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Sam Aichler. The building's recent history shows significant activity in 2025 and 2026, with four open violation cases from January 2026 related to complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. In terms of service requests, the building has experienced several maintenance issues, including rodent problems, garbage cart maintenance needs, sanitation code violations, and infrastructure concerns such as a sidewalk inspection request and a street light outage, all of which occurred between 2024 and 2025. The owner, Sam Aichler, has multiple properties under their management, with records showing a total of 125 service requests and 5 building violations across their 14 parcels over the past seven years, though not all of these appear to be directly related to the Kostner Ave property. While some issues have been addressed and closed, the presence of multiple open violations as of early 2026 suggests there are currently unresolved building code concerns that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 3222 N Kostner Ave 1'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.
