Initial analysis

The property at 3656 N Albany Ave is a two-unit residential building located in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood. Built in 1915 and currently owned by Irene Nunez, this two-parcel property has experienced relatively minimal documented issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been only three 311 service requests associated with the address, including a now-defunct tree trimming request and an abandoned vehicle complaint, both from March 2026. The most concerning incident on record was a rodent-related complaint from June 2024, which suggests there may have been some pest control issues within the vicinity or building area during that period. The property has accumulated a total of six 311 service requests under its current ownership, though this figure includes follow-ups or additional requests beyond those directly related to the building. Additionally, there has been only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, indicating limited major renovations or modifications to the structure during this period.

Risk rating

How 3656 N Albany 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.
