AI summary

The 8-unit residential building at 3800 W Grace in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, built in 1918 and currently owned by 3502 Grace LLC, has experienced several notable incidents and service requests over the past seven years. Most recently, there have been ongoing water-related issues in 2026, with two street water complaints in March and April, as well as an open sewer cleaning inspection request from April 2026. The building's service history shows a pattern of water management concerns, particularly evident in the two water-on-street complaints within a single month. Prior to these water-related incidents, there were multiple sign repair requests in 2025 - two in June and July - suggesting some attention to building exterior or public way maintenance was required. The building's total of 12 service requests over seven years, while not excessively high for an older property, reveals recurring issues, particularly with water management systems. The varied nature of these requests - including nuisance animal complaints - indicates diverse maintenance and environmental challenges within and around the property.

Risk rating

How 3800 W Grace Chicago'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.
