Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3006 N Major Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Gregory McDonald, has maintained relatively consistent records since its construction in 1953. The most significant current concern is an unresolved building code violation from December 2019, which stands out as the only documented building violation in the past seven years. The property has generated a total of ten 311 service requests in that same period, with the most recent service requests occurring in 2025. While most of these requests have been appropriately addressed and closed, they suggest ongoing maintenance concerns. In 2025, there were multiple garbage cart maintenance requests (in June), a yard waste pick-up request (in April), and two street light outage complaints (in April). The opening of the water in basement complaint in December 2025 represents a current unresolved issue that could affect resident comfort and property conditions.

Risk rating

How 3006 N Major 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.
