Initial analysis

The property at 8360 S Baker Avenue in South Chicago is a two-unit building owned by Mirko Loncar, constructed in 1899. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concerns being two open building code violations from June 2024 related to complaint-driven inspections. Over the past seven years, the owner has accumulated 96 building violations and 39 service requests, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The property has also faced rodent-related issues, with two rat complaints recorded in May and June 2024, though these were subsequently closed.

The building's recent tree emergency service request from March 2025 was closed, representing another maintenance issue that required attention.

Risk rating

How 8360 S Baker 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

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.
