Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3742 N Ashland Ave in the Lake View neighborhood, owned by Behdad Ebadifar, is a 130-year-old structure built in 1893. The property has experienced a notable pattern of rodent-related issues in recent months, with six documented rat complaints requiring rodent baiting services between February and June 2026, all of which have been closed. While the building has only had these pest control issues in the past seven years, the frequency and recent clustering of these complaints could indicate an ongoing pest management challenge. The building's total service request history over the past seven years stands at 15 documented cases, though the majority of these appear to be concentrated in 2026 with the exception of one rodent complaint from April 2023, suggesting this has become a recurring problem for the property.

Risk rating

How 3742 N Ashland 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.
