Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13232000010000 5 units · 1931

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 five-unit residential building at 3559 W Irving Park Rd, owned by Raymond S Kim, was constructed in 1931 and is located in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood. The property's recent maintenance history shows a notable pattern of graffiti-related issues in early 2026, with four separate incidents requiring removal services between January and June of that year, though all cases were ultimately resolved. The building has also required attention to its external infrastructure, with a sign repair request in January 2026 currently marked as open at the time of this report, and a weed removal request that was successfully addressed in October 2025. An open fire hydrant complaint from December 2025 was also resolved. While the 311 service request activity appears relatively low over the past seven years, with only 12 total inquiries recorded, there is historical precedent for environmental concerns dating back to 1995, when an air pollution complaint work order was filed, though details regarding the resolution of this incident are not available in the current records.

Risk rating

How 3559 W Irving Park Rd'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
