Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 3501 W Palmer St in Logan Square, owned by Palmer Management LLC, has experienced a notable number of service requests and violations in recent years. Most concerning is the cluster of three unresolved complaint-driven violations from January-February 2026, which stand out as the only open violations currently on record for the property. The building has maintained some level of responsiveness to maintenance and regulatory matters, as evidenced by the resolution of a plumbing violation in January 2026, though this represents the most recent closed violation. The property has also engaged with various municipal services throughout 2025, with seven service requests recorded, primarily related to parking code enforcement matters (including three requests in May 2025 alone), along with a sign repair request in October 2025 and a street pothole complaint in May 2025. While the building's violation and service request history does not reveal any pattern of severe or recurring issues, the presence of multiple recent unresolved violations in 2026 warrants attention as the most significant current concern regarding the property's compliance status.

Risk rating

How 3501 W Palmer St 1'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.
