Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3068 N Avers Ave in Avondale, owned by Robert P Groszek, has an extensive record of building violations and service requests over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of April 2025, representing the most significant and recent building code issues on record. The building's history shows a total of 20 building violations during this period, though the majority of these appear to have been resolved based on available records.

While the building has experienced multiple issues requiring city intervention, it's worth noting that many past service requests and violations have been successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 3068 N Avers 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.
