3250 N Laramie Ave

Portage Park, Chicago IL 60641 13213260190000 6 units · 1928

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 six-unit residential building at 3250 N Laramie Ave in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Niczka, was constructed in 1928 and has a documented history of various service requests over recent years. The property has generated 20 service requests through the 311 system between 2020 and 2026, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2026, including a fly dumping incident (closed) and an open pothole complaint. Notably, early 2026 saw a cluster of abandoned vehicle complaints in the vicinity, with four reported cases between January 30 and February 11, all of which have been resolved. The building's historical record shows a single environmental concern from 1993 related to toxic hazardous materials, though no subsequent environmental issues have been reported in the past three decades. The frequency of service requests, particularly the recent abandoned vehicle complaints, suggests ongoing neighborhood challenges, though most of these issues have been promptly addressed through the appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 3250 N Laramie 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.

Neighborhood percentile
19thpercentile

Out of 3924 buildings in this neighborhood, 3178 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
