Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3033 N Hamlin Ave 2 in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Salvador Espana, has a documented history spanning over seven years through the 311 service request system. The property, constructed in 1903, has recorded four service requests in the past seven years, with five total requests associated with the ownership account. The most recent and currently open request is for a water lead test kit as of May 2026, which requires attention due to potential health implications. Prior to this, the building experienced various maintenance and environmental issues, including a closed request for snow object/dibs removal in December 2025, a rodent baiting complaint in May 2025, and a street pothole complaint in March 2025. While the property has addressed various concerns based on closed request status, the active lead water testing request marks the most significant and potentially impactful issue on record.

How 3033 N Hamlin Ave 2's risk score is calculated
