Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3534 N Wolcott Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a 1908 property currently owned by Thomas J Neumeyer. The building's record over the past seven years shows minimal issues, with only one building code violation noted, which was promptly addressed and resolved by June 2021. The property has generated four 311 service requests in recent years, all of which have been resolved. These service requests included three street-related matters - a street light outage and two pothole complaints in 2024 and the first half of 2025 - as well as a rodent baiting complaint filed in November 2025. While these issues reflect typical urban infrastructure concerns, they were all addressed through proper municipal channels and none appear to be directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 3534 N Wolcott 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.
