Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3843 N Ridgeway Ave 1 in Irving Park, owned by Francisco A Andrade, has been standing since 1914 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, totaling three documented incidents. The most recent service request, filed on January 21, 2026, involved a leak inspection, though this was classified as a check rather than a confirmed issue, and the case has been closed. On May 17, 2024, two service requests were made simultaneously regarding waste management infrastructure - one for a blue recycling cart and another for garbage cart maintenance - both of which were subsequently closed. The building's service request history suggests regular municipal service needs primarily related to waste management and occasional infrastructure checks, with no documented pattern of safety concerns or resident complaints in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3843 N Ridgeway Ave 1'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.
