Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3135 N Narragansett Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by William & Elsa Mendez, has been standing since 1956. The property has had a total of 11 service requests registered through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the majority of these being resolved promptly. The most recent service request, filed in January 2026, was for tree trimming, though this request type is no longer being accepted. The building experienced a series of maintenance and safety-related issues in 2025, including a street light outage in December, graffiti that required removal in August, and an abandoned vehicle complaint in June. Of particular note is a water quality concern reported in June 2024 that has since been resolved. As of now, there is an open request from January 2025 regarding the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building over this time period, the nature of some complaints—particularly the water quality concern—merits attention.

Risk rating

How 3135 N Narragansett 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.
