Initial analysis

The 12-unit building at 4356 W Belmont in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Cazim Mustafalic and constructed in 1924, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has two unresolved building code violations as of late 2021 - one from a complaint-driven inspection in December 2021 and another from a periodic routine inspection in January 2021. In terms of environmental concerns, there was a significant public nuisance violation recorded in August 2023 that resulted in a $5,000 fine, though this was subsequently defaulted, and another construction-related complaint in 2023 that was resolved within two days. The building's recent history shows a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests between 2025 and 2026, including several graffiti removal requests (with at least four in October 2025 alone), street light pole damage, and a pothole complaint. The only building permit issued in the past seven years suggests limited documented maintenance activity, and there have been no reported building violations that would directly indicate safety concerns. While the building has relatively few documented issues considering its age and size, the combination of unresolved violations and recent environmental enforcement action warrants attention to the building's maintenance and regulatory compliance history.

Risk rating

How 4356 W Belmont Chicago'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
3rdpercentile
