Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3804 N Drake Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and owned by Shirley Mae Henderson, has experienced a notably concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations and service requests in recent years. As of June 2026, there are multiple unresolved complaint-driven building code violations, with at least six violations recorded in May 2025 alone. The property has also generated significant 311 service activity, with 18 requests in the past seven years, including two open building violation complaints from June 2026. While there have been some resolved issues, such as porch inspection requests and a rodent baiting complaint from September 2025, the prevailing trend is one of persistent and unresolved violations that dominate the building's recent history. Only one building permit has been recorded in the past seven years, which suggests limited recent construction or maintenance activity. This combination of unresolved violations and service requests, particularly those related to building safety, indicates ongoing challenges with the property's maintenance and compliance situation.

Risk rating

How 3804 N Drake 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.
