AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3450 W Belmont Ave in Avondale, owned by Luis Ortega, has been standing since 1915. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced minimal documented issues, with only one building code violation recorded. Notably, this building code violation, which was generated through a complaint-driven inspection, remains open and unresolved as of December 2024, representing the most significant current concern from a compliance perspective. The building's 311 service request history from 2024 shows six recorded incidents, though none appear to directly impact the building's habitability or resident safety. These service requests primarily related to exterior maintenance matters, including two graffiti removal requests (in 2025), two sign repair requests (in 2024), and one tree trimming request (in 2025, though this request type is no longer being accepted). The building's overall record suggests relatively minor exterior maintenance issues with no documented pattern of serious violations or resident complaints affecting habitability or safety.

Risk rating

How 3450 W Belmont 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.
