Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 3902 W Thomas in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by GGMO, was constructed in 1913 and has experienced several significant incidents over the past seven years. The most recent pattern of concerns emerged in February 2025, when six complaint-driven violations were recorded, though all were subsequently resolved. Throughout this period, the property has accumulated 11 building violations, 26 general service requests, and faced four environmental enforcement actions. The building's environmental history is particularly notable, with a series of violations in August 2019 related to illegal dumping, unpermitted waste disposal, and construction material requirements, resulting in one liability plea with a $2,500 fine, though other related violations were non-suited with no fines imposed.

Risk rating

How 3902 W Thomas 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
2ndpercentile
