Initial analysis

The property at 3242 N Hamlin Ave in the Avondale neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1908, currently managed by ARA Management under the Woodbur brand. The building's record over the past seven years shows limited activity, with only four 311 service requests and one building permit on file. Of particular note is an open water lead test kit request from May 2026, which could potentially impact resident health and safety if not addressed promptly. The other documented service requests from 2026 include a closed pothole complaint and a parking code enforcement review, as well as a tree trimming request from 2025 (though it's worth noting that this type of request is no longer being accepted). While the overall number of service requests and building permits is relatively low, the pending water lead test kit request stands out as the most significant current issue on record.

Risk rating

How 3242 N Hamlin 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.
