Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3525 W Fullerton Ave in Logan Square, Chicago, is a 1913 construction currently owned by Oscar Jara. The property's recent history has been marked by a series of seven consecutive parking code enforcement reviews throughout 2025, all of which have been closed. These requests, ranging from August to December 2025, suggest a focused scrutiny on parking-related compliance matters during that period. Overall, the building's documented history shows a total of 23 311 service requests under the current ownership, though the majority of these requests prior to 2025 remain unspecified in nature. It's notable that the building's service request activity has been primarily concentrated in the parking enforcement domain over the past year, with no recorded health, safety, or maintenance issues apparent in the available data. The structure's 110-year history, now reduced to focusing primarily on parking concerns, presents a relatively stable maintenance profile with no indicated pattern of recurring maintenance issues or violations.

Risk rating

How 3525 W Fullerton 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
27thpercentile

Out of 5187 buildings in this neighborhood, 3787 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
