Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3226 N Sacramento Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Shazel Gharbi, has a documented history dating back to its 1894 construction. The property currently shows one open building code violation from November 2024 related to a complaint-driven inspection, marking the only unresolved issue in the past seven years. Between 2019 and 2024, the building had two resolved code violations from December 2019, both of which were addressed. The property has experienced various service issues requiring municipal attention, with a total of six 311 service requests in the past seven years, including recent concerns such as a plumbing violation (December 2024), a building violation (July 2024), and an air conditioning issue (June 2025) - all of which were subsequently resolved. Additional service requests included a missed garbage pick-up complaint (April 2025) and yard waste pick-up request (May 2026). Historical records also show a 1999 air pollution complaint, though this is significantly dated and unlikely to reflect current conditions. The building's permit history is limited, with only two permits recorded in the past seven years, though the nature of these permits is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3226 N Sacramento 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.
