Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3642 W McLean Ave, located in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, is a late 19th-century property constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Javier Valencia. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows remarkably low service request activity, with only one reported issue through the 311 system that was directly related to the property itself—specifically, a pothole in the street outside the building reported in November 2025, though this was handled by the Chicago Department of Transportation and doesn't reflect on the building's condition or management. The only other recorded service request associated with the owner was for an identical street-related issue, suggesting that street maintenance matters have been the only significant external concern in recent years. Given the age of the building and the typical range of service requests housing units usually generate, the minimal complaint history could be interpreted as either indicative of good maintenance practices or potentially underscoring the building's age and the limited range of modern conveniences that might typically draw more resident feedback.

Risk rating

How 3642 W Mclean 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.
