Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3402 W Beach Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Alejandro Roman, has been standing since 1903 and has had relatively few documented issues over the past seven years, though recent concerns warrant attention. The most significant building violation on record occurred in March 2021, which was resolved through a complaint-driven inspection process. The property has experienced a cluster of water-related issues in mid-2025, with three separate complaints about water problems - two regarding no water service and one about water in the basement - all of which have been closed. More recently, the building has been the subject of concerns about water quality, with an open water lead test kit request from December 2025. Additionally, there was a rodent baiting complaint filed in September 2025 that has been closed. While the total number of complaints and service requests (15) may seem high, it should be noted that many of these were related to specific incidents rather than systemic problems. The building's basic record shows only one building violation and minimal other infractions, suggesting that many of the reported issues may have been addressed promptly as individual occurrences.

Risk rating

How 3402 W Beach Ave 1'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
