3929 N Pine Grove Chicago

Lake View, Chicago IL 60613 14211010050000 7 units · 1918

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The seven-unit residential building at 3929 N Pine Grove in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a 1918 construction currently owned by Ritchie Realty. The property's recent documentation history shows minimal activity over the past several years, with only nine recorded service requests over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved. The nature of these complaints has been varied but generally low-impact, including an abandoned vehicle complaint in November 2024, a 311 information call in September 2025, and a public way inspection request in May 2026. Notably, there has been only one building permit filed under the owner's name in this same period, suggesting limited recent construction or modification activity. The relatively small number of service requests and permits, combined with their nature as mostly administrative or public service issues rather than building-specific complaints, indicates a mostly stable property condition, though the limited data should be considered in the context of the full property history.

Risk rating

How 3929 N Pine Grove Chicago'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
