Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 3414 W Palmer St in Logan Square, owned by George Dancea, has a mixed record over the past seven years since the data began being tracked. Built in 1929, the property has maintained relatively low building violations under the building's name, with only one recorded violation in the past seven years. However, the owner's broader property portfolio shows a significant number of issues, with 53 total building violations and 86 311 service requests recorded over the same period. The most notable current concerns include an unresolved building code violation from April 2021 related to a periodic routine inspection, and an open building violation request from January 2026. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit recorded over the seven-year tracking period, which raises questions about maintenance and improvements. Given the property's age and the limited recent permit activity, along with the one unresolved building code violation, this suggests potential deferred maintenance issues that could impact resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 3414 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.
