Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13144230170000 19 units · 1928

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 19-unit residential building at 3252 W Belle Plaine in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, currently owned by S Kahn LLC, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The building has two unresolved periodic routine inspection violations dated July 29, 2019, which is concerning given their open status for over four years. The property has generated 21 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests occurring in April 2026, including an open water on street complaint. The historical service requests reveal a pattern of infrastructure and pest management issues, including multiple tree emergencies (two in March 2026), two dead animal pick-up requests (April 2026), and a rodent baiting/rat complaint (February 2026). While some of these issues have been resolved, particularly those from 2026, the building's outstanding violations and the frequency of 311 service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that have persisted over multiple years.

Risk rating

How 3252 W Belle Plaine 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.
