Initial analysis

The six-unit, 1928 building at 3601 W Diversey Ave in Logan Square, owned by Berenstain Properties, has a concerning pattern of unresolved periodic routine inspection violations dating from April 2022 through April 2023, with six violations recorded in 2022 and one additional violation in 2023 that remains open. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated 12 building violations and generated 29 service requests, while the overall ownership record shows 24 building violations and 85 service requests across nine total parcels. The service requests include multiple instances of graffiti removal (three requests in February 2026) and two separate complaints about building permit and construction violations (one in February 2026 and another in April 2026), though these recent issues have been marked as closed. The property's historical record shows an environmental complaint regarding hazardous materials from November 2004 and a code violation from December 2001 that resulted in a $100 fine, which has since been closed. While the building has obtained six building permits in the past seven years, the persistent pattern of unresolved periodic inspection violations and multiple recent service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 3601 W Diversey 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
3rdpercentile
