Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3817 N Hamlin Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Yvette Elias, was constructed in 1911 and has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. Most concerning is an unresolved building code violation from September 2024, which represents the only official building violation recorded in the past seven years. The property has generated multiple service requests, with a notable concentration of tree-related issues in mid-2024, including three separate tree emergency calls between June and July of that year, suggesting potential yard maintenance challenges. More recently, there was a rodent baiting/rat complaint filed in November 2025, though this was subsequently closed. The building's permit history over the past seven years shows only two permits have been filed, which is relatively low for a property of this age, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any specific concerns. The property's documented issues appear primarily related to external factors such as tree maintenance and pest control rather than internal building concerns, though the open building violation from September 2024 warrants attention as the most significant current issue on record.

Risk rating

How 3817 N Hamlin 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

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.
