Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 3900 N California in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Becir Zudjelovic, has been in operation since 1958 and has generated 31 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests, recorded in March-April 2026, suggests significant infrastructure concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property, particularly relating to sewer systems, with three separate inspection requests for sewer cave-ins and one request for an alley sewer inspection within a concentrated two-month period. Additionally, during this same period, there were municipal infrastructure issues including a street light outage and a tree emergency, along with a complaint about a street pothole, all of which were resolved according to their closed status. While these recent records indicate particular attention to local public infrastructure in the immediate area, it's important to note that these external infrastructure issues, while potentially affecting access to the property, are municipal rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3900 N California 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

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.
