Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3932 N Claremont Avenue in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Thomas J McDonagh, has been standing since 1927. The property has experienced two significant building code violations in the past seven years, both of which occurred on May 11, 2023, though it's worth noting that both these violations have been resolved. The building's recent service history shows relatively minor issues, with a total of 18 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent requests, from May 2026, include complaints about alley potholes and rodent issues, along with two separate garbage cart maintenance requests from January and April 2026. Additionally, there were two tree debris clean-up requests submitted and closed in September 2025. While the building's violation record shows prompt resolution of issues, the frequency of service requests in recent years suggests ongoing management requirements in areas such as waste management and pest control, particularly regarding the multiple garbage cart maintenance and rodent complaints.

Risk rating

How 3932 N Claremont 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
