AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 3139 W Eastwood Ave, located in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood and owned by Joseph L Blume, has experienced several significant events over the past few years. Most notably, in mid-2023, the building underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections in July, resulting in at least four violations, though records indicate these were promptly resolved. However, there remain two unresolved violations from a periodic routine inspection conducted earlier in June 2023 that warrant attention. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests between 2023 and 2025, with the most recent being related to rodent issues in August 2025. Prior 311 calls included concerns about a dead animal in October 2024, and two reports of abandoned vehicles in March-April 2024, all of which were successfully resolved. The building, constructed in 1920, has accumulated a total of eight building violations and four service requests over the past seven years, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 3139 W Eastwood 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.
