Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3014 N Clifton Ave in Lake View, owned by Blair C Greene and constructed in 1883, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the two unresolved building code violations filed in January 2026, which fall under the category of complaint-driven inspections. Between 2025 and 2026, there have been multiple service requests related to building violations, including one unresolved plumbing violation from December 2025 and three resolved snow-related complaints about uncleared sidewalks during that same winter period. Other service requests include a resolved street light outage complaint from April 2025. The building's permit activity shows only one building permit recorded in the past seven years. While there appear to be some ongoing maintenance and safety concerns as evidenced by the open violations and recent service requests, it's worth noting that the oldest documented issues (from 2016) have either been resolved or are no longer on record.

Risk rating

How 3014 N Clifton 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
