Initial analysis

The property at 3135 N Springfield Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1918, currently owned by Kazimierz Sierak. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years has been minimal, with only two recorded 311 service requests. Both of these requests were relatively routine matters: a blue recycling cart request in June 2025 and a tree trim request in December 2024, though it's worth noting that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted through this channel. Given the limited number of service requests and the nature of these issues, there are no recorded concerns regarding resident safety or building maintenance. The property's records suggest regular municipal service interactions typical of residential buildings, with no significant negative patterns or recent troubling incidents to report.

Risk rating

How 3135 N Springfield 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.
