Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3024 N Racine Ave in Lake View, owned by Harold Sullivan, has been in operation since 1900 and has recorded several noteworthy events in recent years. Most significantly, there is an unresolved building code violation from September 2022, and multiple open service requests from 2024-2026, including a water lead test kit request and a sidewalk inspection request from 2024-2026. The building has experienced recurring sanitation and pest-related issues, evidenced by rodent complaints and sanitation violation reports in 2026. Previous environmental concerns included an air pollution incident in 2019, though this was resolved by February 2020. The property has had minimal official building permits issued over the past seven years, with only one permit on record. While there have been multiple service requests (six in total) and only one building violation noted in the past seven years, the pattern of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and environmental monitoring challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 3024 N Racine 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.

Neighborhood percentile
22ndpercentile
