AI summary

The three-unit building at 3836 N Whipple St in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Marco V Landi, is a 128-year-old structure built in 1895. The property's recent 311 service request history over the past seven years shows three documented incidents, with particular attention warranted to the two water-related issues recorded in 2025. These include a water in basement complaint in December and a water lead test visit request in March of the same year, both of which were subsequently closed. The only other recorded incident was in April 2024, involving a report of an injured animal, which also reached a closed status. While the building's overall service request frequency appears relatively low for its age and size, the recent clustering of water-related issues in early 2025 suggests emerging moisture-related concerns that could impact habitability.

Risk rating

How 3836 N Whipple 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
