Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3049 N Kenneth Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Maritza Munoz, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced a relatively modest number of issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there is currently an unresolved building code violation related to a permit inspection dating from October 2024, which represents the only building violation recorded in this period. The property has generated a total of 18 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent being a pothole complaint from June 2026 that remains open. Among the other service requests, there have been multiple infrastructure-related issues including two alley pothole complaints in March 2026, a consumer fraud complaint (closed) from May 2026, and a street pothole complaint from June 2026. The building's maintenance history includes legitimate service requests such as a water lead test kit request (closed) from December 2025 and a tree trim request (closed) from November 2025, though it's worth noting the city's notification that such requests are no longer being accepted. The relatively limited number of violations and complaints over this extended period suggests generally stable maintenance conditions, though the current open violation and service requests warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 3049 N Kenneth 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
65thpercentile
