Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3701 W Fullerton Ave in Logan Square, owned by Lindsay Malinowski, has experienced notable recent activity in 2025 that raises concerns about the property's condition and management. Most significantly, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of July 2025, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection on July 21, 2025. This represents the most critical and persistent issue in the building's recent history. Additional incidents in 2025 include multiple service requests for graffiti removal (in March and May), two fly dumping complaints (in May 2025 and 2024), and a building violation complaint from July 2025. The property has experienced regular maintenance issues, as evidenced by these service requests, including one for garbage cart maintenance in August 2025. While the building has had two building permits issued in the past seven years, the persistent nature of recent violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and code compliance.

Risk rating

How 3701 W Fullerton 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.
