Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3422 W Chicago Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Eliasar Herrera, has been standing since 1898 and is now over 125 years old. The property has maintained a relatively low record of service requests and building permits over the past seven years, with only six 311 service requests and one building permit filed during this period. The most recent service request, dated February 6, 2026, was regarding a street light outage and was promptly closed. The previous five service requests were primarily related to street lighting and garbage cart maintenance, with two tree trim requests filed in May 2025. All these service requests were resolved and closed, indicating proper response from city services. The limited number of complaints suggests either satisfaction with building conditions or possibly underreporting of issues, though it's important to note that the records only capture external and maintenance-related concerns rather than internal living conditions. The single building permit on file could represent either minimal required modifications or improvements made to the property over this period.

Risk rating

How 3422 W Chicago 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.
