Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 3853 W Palmer St in Logan Square, owned by Daniel S Schor of Chic, has been in operation since 1917. The property has experienced several maintenance and service issues over the past few years, with notable incidents occurring in 2025, including multiple requests for graffiti removal (two documented cases in July), a building violation (December), and issues with waste management equipment (blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance) in April of that year. More recently, there is an open service request from June 2026 regarding tree debris cleanup. While the building has had a total of 12 service requests and 2 building permits recorded over the past seven years, the majority of documented issues relate to three specific years: 2024 (4 requests), 2023 (2 requests), and 2022 (2 requests). Only one building violation has been recorded against the property during this period, and the owner holds title to two parcels of land associated with the building.

Risk rating

How 3853 W Palmer St'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.
