Portage Park, Chicago IL 60641 13213010120000 8 units · 2006

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 8-unit residential building at 3556 N Long Chicago, located in the Portage Park neighborhood, is a relatively new construction from 2006 owned by 3556 58 LONG LLC. The property's recent service history shows a notable pattern of graffiti-related incidents, particularly in 2025, with four separate graffiti removal requests recorded between April and September of that year. The building has also experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a tree debris clean-up request in May 2025. Additionally, there have been two unrelated abandoned vehicle complaints in December 2025, though these occurred outside the building property itself. Looking further back, the only environmental complaint on record dates back to November 2005 and was related to noise. While the 311 service requests represent a relatively low volume of incidents for an 8-unit building over seven years, the concentration of graffiti-related issues in 2025 stands out as the most significant pattern in the building's recent service history.

Risk rating

How 3556 N Long 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.
