Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3813 N Cicero Ave in Portage Park, owned by Carlyza III, dates back to 1916 and has been subject to minimal documented service requests over the past seven years. The property has had a total of seven 311 service requests during this period, with the majority occurring in the latter half of 2025. Notable among these was a leak check request in December 2025, which could potentially impact resident comfort and safety. Other service requests included a graffiti removal request in April 2026 and a missed garbage pick-up complaint in September 2025. The building's maintenance records also show administrative matters such as a blue recycling cart request and two information-only calls to 311, though these issues appear relatively minor and have all been closed by the city services. The overall pattern suggests that while some standard municipal service requests have been made, there are no records of major persistent issues or safety concerns in recent years, with the most significant maintenance matter being the single leak check request from December 2025.

Risk rating

How 3813 N Cicero 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.
