Initial analysis

The 17-unit, 1927 North Park building at 3422 W Foster, currently owned by NORTH PARKERS, has had relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with only nine requests directly related to the building itself. Notably, there has been a recent pattern of graffiti issues in May 2025, with three removal requests in close succession during that period. The building has seen some environmental maintenance concerns in 2026, with multiple requests related to tree management, including an open tree debris clean-up request and a closed tree emergency in March 2026. Water quality is being monitored, as evidenced by a water lead test kit request in March 2026, which has since been closed. While the 311 service request history shows sporadic maintenance needs, particularly around graffiti and tree issues, the overall number of building-specific complaints appears to be relatively low for the period in question.

Risk rating

How 3422 W Foster Chicago'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.
