Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 3581 W Lyndale St in Logan Square, owned by Ruben Rivas, has been standing since 1898 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property currently has four unresolved building code violations dating back to January 2022, all related to complaint-driven inspections, as well as an additional unresolved complaint from July 2019. While the building itself has no recently documented structural or safety concerns beyond these violations, there have been multiple service requests in the surrounding area. From May 2023 to May 2024, there have been six service requests, including two building violations in October 2024 (one to the Alderman and one to 311 City Services), an alley pothole complaint, tree emergency response, and rodent baiting/rat complaint. The most recent service request involved tree debris clean-up in May 2024, and a tree emergency was addressed in May 2025, though these nature-related issues are separate from the building's own condition. The cluster of unresolved building violations from 2019 and 2022, particularly the most recent complaints from January 2022, warrant attention as they indicate ongoing compliance issues with building codes.

How 3581 W Lyndale 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
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.
Out of 5177 buildings in this neighborhood, 4711 are predicted to be safer.
