Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3704 N Odell Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood was constructed in 1933 and is currently owned by Norberto R. Paras. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning being five unresolved building code violations related to complaint-driven inspections that are still open as of October 2023. These unresolved violations, particularly the April 2025 complaints, represent the most recent and potentially serious concerns regarding the property's condition and resident safety. While not directly related to the building itself, there have been two municipal service requests in 2024 - one regarding a street pothole (closed) and another concerning tree debris requiring cleanup (also closed) - which indicate some level of neighborhood maintenance needs. It's worth noting that the building's documented violation and service request history spans seven years, but the limited data provided suggests an ongoing pattern of unresolved code violations, particularly in the most recent inspection periods, warranting attention to the property's regulatory compliance status.

Risk rating

How 3704 N Odell Ave 123'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.
