Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3500 W Armitage Ave in Logan Square, owned by Naseer Chaudhry, has been standing since 1891 and has experienced several noteworthy events over the past three decades. Most recently, in October 2024, the property was subjected to four unresolved violations related to periodic routine inspections, indicating potential ongoing regulatory concerns. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of exterior concerns, with three graffiti removal requests filed and successfully closed between late 2025 and early 2026, along with a vacant/abandoned building complaint in July 2025. Prior to these recent issues, the property had documented two environmental complaints - one regarding air pollution in 2005 and another pertaining to permits issued by the Department of Environment in 1995. While the building has had a total of 14 service requests and 4 violations in the past seven years, these primarily relate to external maintenance issues rather than internal structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 3500 W Armitage 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
