Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3005 N Kimball Ave in Avondale, owned by Deems Jensen, has been standing since 1911 and has experienced some notable maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations that were logged on October 2, 2025, both of which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections. While the building itself has only two documented violations in the past seven years, there have been numerous infrastructure-related service requests in the immediate vicinity, particularly during April 2026, when five separate reports of potholes were filed, four of which were directed to the Department of Transportation and one to the Alderman's office, all of which have since been closed. A street light outage was also reported and resolved in April 2026, followed by another street light issue in May 2026, which was subsequently closed. While the building's violation history is relatively limited, the presence of open building violations as of October 2025 and the clustering of street-related complaints in early 2026 may impact resident experience, particularly regarding building maintenance and surrounding infrastructure conditions.

Risk rating

How 3005 N Kimball 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.

Neighborhood percentile
