Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1919 N Kostner Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Lior Saado, has a relatively clean record over the past seven years according to available data. The two-parcel property, constructed in 1924, has generated only one 311 service request specifically related to the building in this period, which was made in March 2025 concerning a pothole in the street. While this street-related issue was promptly closed, it's worth noting that the owner has filed a total of 11 service requests across both parcels in the same timeframe, though the nature and relevance of these additional requests are not specified in the provided data. The building's documented service request history appears minimal for its age and unit count, with no recorded complaints or issues directly related to the property's habitability or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1919 N Kostner Ave'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.
