Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3419 W Melrose St in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Isabel M Barron, is a 1920 construction that has maintained a relatively low number of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 calls. Both of these requests were made in early 2025, suggesting the property has had minimal recent maintenance issues or resident concerns. The first request, made on January 16, 2025, was regarding garbage cart maintenance through the Alderman's office, followed by a tree trim request on March 18, 2025, though it is noted that this type of request is no longer being accepted. While the limited number of service requests might indicate good property management, it is noteworthy that both documented incidents occurred in close temporal proximity to one another, though it remains unclear if there is any correlation between the two separate requests.

Risk rating

How 3419 W Melrose St'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.
