AI summary

The property at 3501 N Kedzie Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Kedzie and Associates. The building's recent history shows significant sanitation-related concerns, particularly during the summer of 2025, with six documented sanitation code violations between July and September 2025, all of which have since been resolved. As of late 2024, there are three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations that remain open. The building has recorded a total of 24 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though the specific nature of the other 11 requests is not detailed in the current records. The property has maintained one parcel under the ownership of Kedzie and Associates, and while the total number of violations and service requests might raise concerns, it's important to note that many of these issues appear to be related to sanitation matters rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 3501 N Kedzie 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.
