Initial analysis

The property at 3400 N Cicero in Portage Park is a 102-year-old building owned by Dimitrios Drouzas, currently experiencing significant regulatory scrutiny with six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of July 2024. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a concerning total of 115 building violations, comparatively higher than the 85 violations specifically recorded within the official building history. The property has also generated 33 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in early 2026, including multiple incidents of graffiti, traffic signal issues, potholes, and street lighting problems - all of which have since been resolved. Despite these numerous infractions and service requests, the building has seen relatively limited construction activity, with only five building permits issued in the past seven years, and three permits associated with the owner's other parcels. The combination of unresolved violations, high total violation count, and minimal permitted improvements raises concerns about the building's current maintenance and oversight status.

Risk rating

How 3400 N Cicero'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
