Initial analysis

The 44-unit residential building at 3447 W Foster Avenue in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, currently owned by 5K HOLDINGS LLC, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced a modest number of issues over the past seven years. The property has one unresolved building code violation from May 2021 related to a periodic routine inspection, and while there have been nine building violations recorded in total under the ownership of 5K HOLDINGS LLC, none of these appear to be recent. The building has generated 17 city service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent cases occurring in 2026, including multiple pothole complaints and other service requests such as a dead animal pickup and a blue recycling cart request - all of which have been closed. Historical records from 2004 and 2003 indicate past complaints regarding noise and illegal dumping, respectively, though these incidents are notably outdated and unrelated to current resident conditions.

Risk rating

How 3447 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

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
0thpercentile
