4300 N Drake Chicago

Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13144000400000 13 units · 1919

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 4300 N Drake in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a 13-unit residential building constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Musa Dabeca. The building's record shows a relatively low number of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with a total of 4 building service requests, 6 building violations, 61 owner service requests, and 2 environmental complaints. The most recent building-related service requests have primarily concerned street maintenance issues, with two pothole complaints (one currently open and one previously closed) and one snow-cleared sidewalk complaint from December 2025. Other than these maintenance issues, the building's documented history over the past seven years shows no major incidents or recurring problems that would significantly impact resident experience or safety. The property has had minimal street-related issues, as evidenced by the two pothole complaints, but these appear to be external to the building itself. The building was constructed nearly a century ago, but the record shows no recent major renovations or improvements that would significantly affect its current condition.

Risk rating

How 4300 N Drake 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

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.
