AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 3014 N California Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Jorge Sanchez, has a relatively limited but noteworthy record spanning the past seven years. Built in 1926, this property has had two building code violations recorded, both of which remain open and unresolved as of June 2024, following a complaint-driven inspection on the same date. The building's maintenance history shows minimal activity, with only one 311 service request filed in the past seven years - a sign repair request made in April 2026 that remains open as of now. The property has had two building permits issued during this period, though the specific nature and completion status of these permits are not detailed in the available data. While the number of violations and service requests is relatively low compared to some properties, the presence of unresolved violations and open service requests may warrant attention to their potential impact on resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 3014 N California 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.

Neighborhood percentile
