Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3534 W Dickens Ave in Logan Square, owned by David Anaya, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, all primarily related to tree maintenance and sidewalk condition. Built in 1912, this property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests during the monitoring period, with the most recent activity occurring in mid-2026. The requests reveal a concentrated pattern of tree-related issues, particularly during 2024 when there were multiple instances of tree debris requiring cleanup (three requests in May-July 2024), followed by a sidewalk inspection request that was successfully closed. The property has also seen some ongoing tree maintenance activities, with a tree planting request currently in open status as of May 2026, and a previously submitted tree trimming request (no longer being accepted) that has been closed. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the recurring nature of tree-related issues throughout 2024 and 2026 constitutes the primary pattern of maintenance activity on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 3534 W Dickens Ave 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.

Neighborhood percentile
