Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3804 N Saint Louis Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood has been owned by Karen L Zewe since its construction in 1915. The property's recent history shows relatively minimal code violations, with only one resolved building code violation related to permit inspection in March 2020, and no other building violations recorded in the past seven years. The building has generated five 311 service requests in the same timeframe, with the most recent being a tree debris clean-up request filed in June 2026 that remains open. The property has experienced recurring tree maintenance needs, as evidenced by two closed tree trim requests from November 2024, though it's worth noting this specific request type was no longer being accepted at that time. Other service requests include a closed sanitation code violation from August 2025 and a closed nuisance animal complaint from May 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a century-old building, the pattern of tree-related issues suggests ongoing exterior maintenance requirements, particularly concerning the property's landscaping and foliage management.

Risk rating

How 3804 N Saint Louis 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.
