Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3907 W Armitage Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood has a significant history since its construction in 1879, currently owned by Robert J Rios. The property has accumulated 34 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster being six graffiti removal requests in March 2026, all of which have been closed. The building has one open building code violation from November 2019, which stands out as the only unresolved issue in the past seven years. From an environmental enforcement perspective, there have been three violations in recent years that warrant attention: in September 2023, the building was cited for equipment operation instructions (with a $250 fine) and another violation carrying a $1,000 fine, followed by a motor vehicle repair shop-related violation in February 2026 with a $1,000 penalty. The property's environmental history dates back to 2004-2005, when complaints were filed regarding illegal dumping and an unspecified issue in May 2005, though these incidents occurred over 18 years ago.

Risk rating

How 3907 W Armitage 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.
