Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3835 N Albany Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a 130-year-old property built in 1893 and currently owned by Irma Puente. The property's recent record shows a cluster of tree-related service requests in early 2026, with four separate tree trim requests submitted on April 7 and one on March 31, all of which have been successfully closed. More recently, there have been concerns about street lighting in the area, with two street light out complaints filed in May and April 2026, both of which have also been resolved. The building's overall service request history is relatively modest, with a total of 20 logged requests over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that five of these were concentrated in a two-month period related to tree maintenance in spring 2026.

Risk rating

How 3835 N Albany Ave Hse'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.
