AI summary

The property at 3545 W Belmont Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 4-unit building constructed in 2024 and owned by 1542 W North Ave LLC. The building has maintained a relatively low volume of official complaints and permits over the past seven years, with a total of 7 service requests and only 1 building permit on record. The majority of the recent service requests (2025-2026) have been related to rodent issues, with four recorded rat complaints including one as recent as June 2026. There have also been two roadway maintenance issues reported, including an alley pothole complaint in March 2026 and a street pothole complaint in January 2025, both of which were resolved. A tree planting request submitted in May 2025 remains open as of the current date. Looking further back in history, there was one environmental violation related to construction and demolition activities that was founded and resolved in July 2014, though this predates the current ownership and construction of the building.

Risk rating

How 3545 W Belmont 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.
