Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1926 building at 3521 W Palmer St in Logan Square, owned by Catalina Rodriguez, has experienced several significant issues over the past seven years that warrant attention. Currently, there are four unresolved open code violations from 2022 and 2019, all of which originated from complaint-driven inspections, with additional permit-related violations from the same dates. These outstanding violations, particularly the open status of multiple complaint-driven inspections, suggest ongoing compliance challenges that could impact tenant safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 3521 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.
