Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3434 N Narragansett Ave in the Dunning neighborhood, owned by Santos Vega Jr., has a documented history spanning back to its construction in 1908. Over the past seven years, the property has evidenced minimal regulatory activity, with only one building code violation recorded in July 2024 related to a complaint-driven inspection, though this was promptly resolved. The building's service request history includes four documented calls to 311 services, all of which have been closed. The most recent incident occurred in July 2025 concerning garbage cart maintenance, with prior entries related to safety and maintenance concerns including two abandoned vehicle complaints in December 2024 and an alley light outage in March 2025. While these service requests indicate periodic maintenance and safety concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property, they are relatively minor and have all been addressed. The building's permit record shows only one permit filed in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3434 N Narragansett 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.
