Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3520 N Kolmar Ave in Irving Park, owned by Maria T Juarez, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1907. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations from September 2023, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that could affect resident safety and comfort. The property's documented history includes four related environmental enforcement violations from March 2013 concerning construction site cleanliness, specifically regarding trash container requirements and fabric mesh usage, though these were ultimately resolved with a balanced outcome of $200 fines. Recent municipal engagement has primarily involved infrastructure and municipal service matters, with five 311 service requests since 2024, including an alley light outage and abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which have been closed. Two tree-related matters (removal inspection and debris clean-up) in 2025-2026, along with a blue recycling cart request in 2024, suggest reasonable municipal service engagement for maintenance and waste management needs.

Risk rating

How 3520 N Kolmar Ave 1St'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.

Neighborhood percentile
