Initial analysis

The property at 3509 W McLean Ave in Logan Square is a 2-unit residential building owned by Juan Hernandez, dating back to 1895. The building's records over the past seven years show a concerning pattern of issues, with a total of 47 building violations recorded under the current ownership. While there has been only one 311 service request in the past seven years directly related to the building itself—a complaint about an abandoned vehicle in July 2024 that was subsequently closed—this represents only a small fraction of the service requests associated with the property. The building has recorded a significant number of 311 service requests overall, totaling 219 under the current ownership, though it's important to note that many of these could pertain to neighborhood issues beyond the building itself. The permit records show minimal construction or major work done on the property, with only two building permits issued in the past seven years. Additionally, there is one environmental complaint on record during this period. Given the age of the building and the number of violations recorded, the property's maintenance and regulatory compliance history warrants attention, though it's worth noting that the 311 service requests primarily reflect neighborhood interactions rather than direct building-related issues.

Risk rating

How 3509 W Mclean Ave'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
