Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3451 N Bell Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a 126-year-old property currently owned by Jose Reynoso. The building, which contains four parcels, has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues over the last seven years, with a particular cluster of concerns emerging between 2024-2025. Notably, there were two recorded rodent-related incidents (in August and September 2025) during this period, along with a recurring issue with street maintenance, as evidenced by a pothole complaint in July 2025, and a tree debris clean-up request from June 2026 that remains unresolved. The property's documented history also includes one building permit and four violations within the same seven-year period. While the building is relatively small and old, the frequency of rodent-related issues and ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly in the public space around the property, represent the most significant challenges noted in the available records.

Risk rating

How 3451 N Bell Ave 1'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.
