Portage Park, Chicago IL 60641 13213110340000 6 units · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 6-unit residential building located at 3442 N Laramie Ave in Portage Park, owned by Maribel Castrejon, has been experiencing a notable pattern of infrastructure issues, particularly in the vicinity of the property. Built in 1926, this multi-family building's most recent service request activity between March and June 2026 shows a significant concentration of complaints regarding street conditions, with six separate reports about potholes in street sections surrounding the property. While the address is listed as 3442 N Laramie AVE 1REAR, indicating a specific unit within the building, all reported street-related issues have been submitted as complaints through various channels including 311 City Services, Streets and Sanitation, and the Alderman's office, roughly six months into 2026. Of particular note is the pattern of repeated street maintenance complaints during 2026, with half of these requests (four out of six) still remaining open as of June 3, 2026. While the building itself has maintained a relatively low frequency of service requests over the past seven years, with only 17 total requests on record, the recent surge of street-related issues may be of environmental interest to current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 3442 N Laramie Ave 1Rear'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
16thpercentile
