Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3849 N Sayre Ave in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Barbara A Lipke, has been in existence since 1925 and has had a relatively stable ownership record with only one parcel registered. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 19 documented 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent pattern of service requests, particularly in 2026, shows a notable concentration of issues related to tree maintenance, with three separate tree emergencies reported between March and April 2026, including one tree emergency that required immediate attention from the Streets and Sanitation department. Additionally, there are two open recycling-related service requests from May 2026 regarding cart maintenance and blue recycling cart needs. These recent tree-related incidents suggest an ongoing concern with greenery management in the immediate vicinity, while the open recycling cart requests indicate some continuing infrastructure needs related to waste management services. The historical record prior to 2026 shows no documented service requests, suggesting that the building experienced a period of stability before these recent maintenance issues emerged.

Risk rating

How 3849 N Sayre 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.
