Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3216 W Douglas Blvd in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by SCC Restoration LLC and dating back to 1894, is currently facing significant unresolved building code violations as of July 2025, with seven complaint-driven inspections remaining open. The property has demonstrated a concerning pattern of maintenance issues over the past seven years, with a total of 17 building violations recorded and 31 service requests made through the city's 311 system. Recent service requests in 2025 alone have included multiple water-related problems, with complaints about basement water and street water issues, as well as rodent infestations, dead animal concerns, and various public way inspections. While some earlier service requests from 2025 have been closed, including those related to water issues and rodent complaints, the persistence of these problems suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and neighborhood conditions. The most recent service requests, particularly the open sidewalk inspection request from June 2025, indicate that structural and public safety concerns remain a priority for attention.

Risk rating

How 3216 W Douglas Blvd'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
