Initial analysis

The 17-unit building at 3142 N Laramie in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by 3142 Laramie Pacini, has been in operation since 1928 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Currently, there are three open violations related to periodic routine inspections, with the most recent violation having been recorded in September 2024. The building has a total of 12 documented 311 service requests in this period, with the most recent one regarding a rodent baiting/rat complaint in May 2026. A significant cluster of service requests occurred in July 2025, with six separate reports of abandoned vehicles, all of which have since been closed. While the building has had three building code violations during this period, it is worth noting that one periodic routine inspection violation from September 2023 was resolved. The persistent nature of the open inspection violations, particularly those from September 2023 and September 2024, suggests ongoing compliance issues with building codes, though the exact nature and impact of these violations are not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3142 N Laramie 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.
