Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13241050370000 3 units · 1904

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 three-unit residential building at 3900 N Francisco Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Juan C Ayala, has an extensive history dating back to its 1904 construction. The property has had relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 12 requests associated with the owner across two parcels, though nine of these were specifically for the three-unit building. Recent maintenance issues have primarily focused on street and tree maintenance, with multiple tree trim requests and at least two pothole complaints in the immediate vicinity. The most recent service request, as of May 2026, is for an alley pothole complaint that remains open. Of particular note is an environmental incident from October 2008 involving asbestos, which would have required proper remediation procedures to ensure resident safety. While most recent service requests have been resolved (evidenced by their closed status), the frequency of tree-related maintenance in early 2026 and the current open pothole issue suggest ongoing infrastructure and landscaping maintenance needs in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 3900 N Francisco 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.
