Initial analysis

This three-unit residential building at 3705 N Southport Ave in Wrigleyville, constructed in 1911, has experienced multiple regulatory challenges over recent years, particularly in relation to environmental issues and building code compliance. The property has recorded four building violations in the past seven years, with three of these being related to a complaint-driven inspection in May 2022 that were subsequently resolved, while one violation from July 2019 remains open and unresolved. The building has also faced significant environmental scrutiny, with two enforcement actions and two complaints documented since 2015. Most notably, in April 2023, the property received two separate environmental enforcement citations related to process equipment operation instructions and safety practices, for which the owner pled liable and was fined a total of $500.

Risk rating

How 3705 N Southport 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.
