Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3639 W McLean Ave in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Alelandrina Perez, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. The most significant current concerns are six unresolved building code violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections conducted in December 2022, which remain open as of October 2023. The property has also been the subject of multiple 311 service requests in recent years, particularly regarding alley conditions, with three open alley pothole complaints filed in 2026, following a pattern of prior reports with similar problems. While most of these pothole complaints (from 2025-2026) have been resolved, the persistence of these issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges in the vicinity. Additionally, there was one building permit request in 2025 regarding a building permit and construction violation, though this was subsequently closed. The building's history includes an environmental noise complaint investigation from 2001, though no recent noise-related issues have been documented. Separate from the building's current state, it's worth noting that the property was constructed in 1888, making it one of the older residential buildings in the area.

Risk rating

How 3639 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

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.
