Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3121 N Kimball Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by George Tanaka, has a relatively concerning recent history from the past two years. Built in 1903, this property has recorded multiple building code violations and service requests since 2025, with the most significant recent issues emerging in March 2026 when two complaint-driven inspections were initiated, both of which remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. Additionally, between September 2025 and May 2026, there have been three 311 service requests specifically related to building violations, with one request from September 2025 having been resolved while two others from May 2026 remain open, indicating an ongoing pattern of building code concerns that require attention. While the building's total violation and service request count over the past seven years is relatively modest at two violations and three service requests, the concentration of these issues in recent months suggests emerging problems that may affect resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 3121 N Kimball 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.

Neighborhood percentile
