Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4735 N Dover St in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Ilona Piwko, has a documented history spanning several years with notable concerns. The 107-year-old property, constructed in 1916, currently has three open building code violations as of February 2026, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. These unresolved violations warrant particular attention as they may directly impact resident safety and comfort. The building's recent service request history from 2025-2026 shows ten documented incidents, with the most recent being a weed removal request in May 2026. Previous service requests include a snow removal complaint regarding an uncleared sidewalk in December 2025 and multiple code violations relating to building and sanitation that were resolved prior to May 2026. The property has also experienced issues with vegetation maintenance, evidenced by two weed removal requests in August 2025. While many of the service requests from 2025 have been resolved, the presence of three open building code violations as of February 2026 suggests ongoing concerns that may require attention.

Risk rating

How 4735 N Dover St'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.
