Initial analysis

The three-unit multifamily building at 3906 N Sawyer Ave 2 in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood has been under the ownership of Peter Zuiko since its construction in 1913. The property has generated a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 7 requests through the 311 service system, with one recorded building violation during this period. The most recent and concerning pattern of issues has emerged in 2025, with three separate rodent-related complaints (in October, August, and an earlier report in July) suggesting a potential ongoing pest control challenge in the building or surrounding area. Other service requests in 2025 have included infrastructure and utility concerns, such as a no water complaint in January and a street pothole issue in February, along with a sewer cleaning inspection request in July of the same year. An earlier request from 2024 regarding tree trimming was submitted but appears to fall under a category no longer being processed by the city. While the building has maintained relatively few complaints overall, the concentration of service requests in 2025, particularly regarding water and pest control issues, stands out as the most significant cluster of concerns in recent records.

Risk rating

How 3906 N Sawyer Ave 2'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
49thpercentile

Out of 3731 buildings in this neighborhood, 1903 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
