Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14291150200000 4 units · 1898

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 four-unit building at 3018 N Racine Ave in Lake View, owned by Maria Clara Racine Re, is a late 19th-century structure built in 1898. The property's recent service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests recorded at the building address. These requests are quite dated (from 2024 and 2025) and pertain to non-building-specific issues: one was for rodent baiting/rat complaints and the other for an abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which have been resolved. The property's overall service request record appears relatively clean, with no significant building-specific complaints or safety concerns noted in the recent past. The building and ownership records indicate two total parcels under the ownership of Racine Re, with a total of eight service requests across both properties in the past seven years, though it's important to note that the majority of these requests (6 out of 8) are not directly related to the Racine Ave address itself.

Risk rating

How 3018 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
40thpercentile
