Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3405 W Dickens Ave in Logan Square, owned by Andrew Maxwell, was constructed in 1899 and has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years. The property has experienced only one building code violation during this period, recorded in October 2020 for permit-related inspection issues, though this was promptly resolved. The building has generated a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent being a graffiti removal request in May 2026. A pattern of infrastructure maintenance issues is evident, particularly regarding roadway conditions, as five of the service requests between 2025 and 2026 have been related to potholes, including three in the street and alley areas. Two additional requests from 2025 are worth noting: one concerning an open tree planting request and another about an alley pothole complaint, both of which may hint at ongoing concerns about local infrastructure and green space maintenance in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 3405 W Dickens Ave 1St'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
