Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3971 N Oleander Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Salvatore Gambino & Do, is a 1924 construction that has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is a cluster of three unresolved complaint-driven violations recorded on September 22, 2023, which suggest ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety or comfort. The building's maintenance history includes two environmental complaints in May 2026 related to construction and demolition activities, though these were resolved within one day with no violations found. The property has also generated 311 service requests, including an active tree planting request from July 2025 and a completed tree removal inspection from May 2024, though these maintenance matters appear to be relatively routine and unrelated to the building's core habitability aspects. While the building has had some code violations and service requests in recent years, the most pressing concern appears to be the recent unresolved violations from late 2023, which stand out among the property's documented history.

Risk rating

How 3971 N Oleander 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.
