Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3973 W Barry Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a century-old property built in 1915, currently owned by Nikki Woloshyn. Over the past seven years, the property has generated three documented 311 service requests, with all recent activity occurring in August 2025. The most recent spate of service requests, which were all promptly closed, primarily concerned routine municipal services including blue recycling cart maintenance and garbage cart maintenance on August 19, 2025, followed by a tree debris clean-up request eight days later on August 26, 2025. These recent service requests suggest the property has required basic waste management and environmental maintenance services typical for its age and type, though there are no recorded incidents or requests indicating significant safety concerns or resident experience issues.

Risk rating

How 3973 W Barry 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.
