Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3059 N Kolmar Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Markos Sarris, has a mixed record over the past seven years since its construction in 1928. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in March 2022, when six complaint-driven inspections resulted in building code violations, though records indicate all of these were resolved. More recently, in July 2024, there were five consecutive finance parking code enforcement review requests, suggesting possible ongoing concerns or patterns related to parking regulations in the vicinity, though these requests were all closed without clear indication of outcome. The property has experienced minimal permit activity, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years. While there have been 39 total service requests associated with the ownership group across six parcels, the most recent issues appear primarily related to parking enforcement matters rather than building code compliance or maintenance concerns. The building's overall violation history shows a total of 15 building violations under the current ownership group, but these have all been resolved as per the available records.

Risk rating

How 3059 N Kolmar 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.
