Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 1421 W Devon Avenue in Edgewater, owned by Mathew Klujian, has been monitored through various regulatory channels since its construction in 1931. The most significant focus has been on a cluster of building code violations in January 2020, where six complaint-driven inspections were conducted, with four of these investigations being resolved while two remained open and unresolved at their last recorded status. More recently, from 2024 through early 2026, there has been a pattern of maintenance and safety-related service requests, primarily involving external issues such as graffiti removal, snow clearance from sidewalks, and garbage cart maintenance, all of which have been successfully closed. These recent service requests have been responded to and addressed, suggesting active municipal engagement with the property. Historical records also indicate a single environmental complaint from 1998 regarding hazardous materials, though there has been no documented follow-up on this matter in subsequent decades, suggesting either resolution or a lack of reoccurrence. The building's documented history over the past 25 years shows more recent external maintenance issues rather than serious structural or safety concerns, with no new building code violations recorded since the January 2020 incidents.

How 1421 W Devon Ave's risk score is calculated

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
