AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3928 N Whipple St 1 in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Margaret R Presby, was constructed in 1902 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. There is currently one open building code violation from June 2020 that remains unresolved, though specific details about the nature of this violation are not provided in the records. The property has generated multiple service requests, with a particularly concerning pattern of rodent-related complaints evident from late 2025 to early 2026, with three closed requests regarding rodent baiting and rat issues. More recent service requests include open matters regarding tree removal inspection and blue recycling cart services in June 2026, as well as a tree planting request from September 2025. The building's total record over the past seven years shows limited permit activity, with only one building permit filed, and minimal violations recorded beyond the current open complaint. While the number of service requests (11) and violations (1) might imply some level of maintenance and safety concerns, it's important to note that many of these requests relate to external municipal services rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 3928 N Whipple St 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

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.
