Initial analysis

The 13-unit building at 3023 W Addison in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Root Realty Inc., has been in operation since 1924 and carries an interesting history over the past seven years. The property has recorded relatively minimal building code violations during this period, with only one documented violation in February 2021 that remains open and unresolved. Street lighting issues have been a recurring theme, with three street light out complaints filed between January 2026 and April 2026, though most infrastructure-related complaints, including this one, have been resolved promptly. The building's 311 service request history shows a diverse range of maintenance concerns being reported, including graffiti removal and sign repairs, with one sign repair request still pending as of March 2026. The property has also faced some environmental challenges, with four complaints registered over the past seven years, and only two building permits have been issued during this period, suggesting limited recent construction activity. While the building's violation and complaint history isn't excessively high compared to similar properties, it's worth noting the presence of both unresolved violation (from 2021) and complaint (from 2026) that could potentially impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 3023 W Addison 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.
