AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3618 N Odell Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Richard Artwohl, has been in existence since 1924. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with only one building permit issued during this period and a total of nine 311 service requests. The majority of recent service requests, occurring between 2024 and 2025, have been focused on infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, including multiple street light outages and a pothole complaint, all of which were handled through the Chicago Department of Transportation. The most recent service requests in September 2025 relate to tree management issues, including removal inspections and emergency responses, as well as a debris clean-up request from June 2025. While the number of service requests is modest for a property of this age, it's notable that most concerns have been related to street and tree maintenance rather than building-specific issues, with no recorded complaints about the building's condition or resident services during this period.

Risk rating

How 3618 N Odell 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
