Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3028 N Milwaukee Ave in Avondale, owned by Z Zaborska & B Orzel, has a century-plus history dating back to 1912. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced limited service requests, with five reported through the city's 311 system. The most recent of these, from February 2026, involved graffiti removal, a recurring issue as evidenced by two separate reports in the same month. Prior to these incidents, the building faced rodent issues (December 2024) and two tree trimming requests (November 2024), though it's worth noting that tree trimming requests are no longer being accepted. The property has also experienced environmental concerns, including a valid noise complaint in December 2015 and a more recent air pollution complaint in June 2025, though no violation was found upon investigation. The building's record shows relatively few issues over the years, with the most recent problems primarily involving external maintenance and environmental concerns.

Risk rating

How 3028 N Milwaukee 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.
