Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3016 N Octavia Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood has a documented history spanning several years, with its most recent and pressing issue being an unresolved building code violation filed in March 2023 that was initiated through a complaint-driven inspection process. The property's previous compliance history shows a resolved permit-related inspection violation from September 2020, indicating attention to regulatory requirements during that period. In July 2025, two service requests were logged and subsequently closed - one related to building violations and the other pertaining to a rodent baiting/rat complaint. While it's worth noting the building dates back to 1939, the documented violations and service requests are relatively limited in number, totaling only two building violations and two 311 service requests over the past seven years. The current ownership under Nikolaj Nikolajuk appears to maintain records of building compliance, though the recent open violation from 2023 may require monitoring for resolution.

Risk rating

How 3016 N Octavia 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.

Neighborhood percentile
