Irving Park, Chicago IL 60641 13224270490000 4 units · 1923

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 four-unit residential building at 4140 W School St in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Stanislav Tadic, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 11 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in 2025. During that year, there were three infrastructure-related issues recorded, including plumbing violations, sanitation code violations, and garbage cart maintenance concerns. Additionally, the building had to address some environmental matters, with two tree-related incidents recorded: one emergency situation and one removal inspection. A stray animal complaint was also filed in May 2025. It's worth noting that while these service requests have been resolved (as indicated by their "Closed" status), the relatively high number of reported issues in 2025, particularly in areas affecting resident comfort and safety such as plumbing and sanitation, warrants attention. The building's service request history appears to have stabilized somewhat, with no reported issues in the most recent two years on record (2026-2027).

Risk rating

How 4140 W School 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.
