Initial analysis

The 18-unit residential building at 3400 W Douglas in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by Jarrell Lawndale, has been facing persistent maintenance and safety challenges throughout recent years. Significant current concerns include multiple open building code violations resulting from periodic routine inspections and complaint-driven inspections in 2025 and 2026. The property has documented a notable pattern of rodent-related issues, with five rodent baiting or rat complaints filed between late 2025 and early 2026, though these have all been marked as closed. Between 2017 and 2023, the building has accumulated 12 building violations, 18 311 service requests, and one building permit in this period alone, while the owner has records showing a total of 91 building violations, 120 service requests, and 10 building permits across their seven total parcels, with two environmental complaints noted. The most pressing concerns appear to be the unresolved building code violations, which could impact resident safety and habitability, though many of the more recent service requests related to rodent issues have been resolved through city intervention.

Risk rating

How 3400 W Douglas 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.
