Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3134 N Richmond St in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Gilberto Hernandez Jr. and dating back to 1888, currently faces some significant concerns. Most notably, there are two open, unresolved violations stemming from a complaint-driven inspection conducted in July 2024. The building's recent service request history shows relatively frequent interaction with city services, though the majority of these issues have been resolved. Between 2024 and 2026, there have been 20 service requests, including recent concerns such as an open tree planting request (August 2024), a sewer cleaning inspection (August 2024), and a graffiti removal request (November 2024), all of which have been addressed. Past service requests demonstrate a range of issues, from an abandoned vehicle complaint (January 2026) to a sidewalk inspection request (October 2025), all of which have been closed. The building's record shows two building code violations and 20 service requests in total over the past seven years, with the most significant concerns being the two unresolved violations from mid-2024, which warrant particular attention given their ongoing status.

Risk rating

How 3134 N Richmond 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

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.
