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 two-unit residential building at 3331 W Van Buren St in Garfield Park, owned by Cristina Rodriguez, has been standing since 1912. The property has generated a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with only seven documented complaints. Most notably, there is currently an active issue with water on the street as of June 2026, with three separate complaints logged on the same date that remain unresolved. Prior to this, there was a rat complaint in April 2026 that was successfully closed, and two garbage cart maintenance requests in February and March 2026 that were also resolved. The building's permit activity shows only one permit filed in the past seven years, though the specific nature and outcome of this permit is not detailed in the available records. While the service request history is limited, the concentration of recent issues primarily related to water management and waste handling in 2026 warrants attention, particularly the ongoing nature of the recent water complaints.

Risk rating

How 3331 W Van Buren St'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.
