Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3623 N Artesian Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Thomas Canale, has been facing multiple ongoing challenges over the past several years. Built in 1925, this property has accumulated a total of five building code violations over the past seven years, all related to complaint-driven inspections, with the most recent cluster of violations recorded on October 13, 2021, and earlier violations from July 22, 2021 - notably, all these violations remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building has also generated a significant number of 311 service requests in recent years, totaling 24 over the past seven years. Recent requests from 2026 primarily involve tree debris clean-up and garbage cart maintenance, all of which remain open, suggesting ongoing maintenance or response issues. Earlier in 2026, there were three city vehicle sticker violation incidents, though these have been closed. While some of these service requests pertain to external matters like tree debris, the frequency of unresolved building code violations and open service requests indicates potential ongoing management challenges at the property.

Risk rating

How 3623 N Artesian 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

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.
