Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3009 N Whipple St 2 in Avondale, owned by Virginia Belsky, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently seven open, unresolved building code violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections, all dated December 31, 2025. While these violations are technically dated in the future based on the current date, their presence in the records suggests ongoing regulatory attention. The building also has an active tree planting request from May 2026. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 13 building violations recorded and six 311 service requests related to the property. Of these service requests, three were specifically related to building violations (two from Alderman requests in 2025 and one from 2025-12-04), while the others addressed street issues including two pothole complaints (April and March 2025) and one fly dumping complaint (November 2025), all of which have been closed. The building, constructed in 1901, represents an older property that has required multiple interventions to address various concerns, with a particular focus on unresolved building code violations that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 3009 N Whipple St 2'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.
