3000 W Palmer Chicago

Logan Square, Chicago IL 60647 13361080680000 14 units · 1906

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 14-unit residential building at 3000 W Palmer in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, managed by PQ Properties Acorn, has been standing since 1906. The building's records over the past seven years show a total of 33 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2026, including complaints about street lighting issues and a rodent problem. The concentration of recent service requests suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges in the immediate area, particularly regarding street lighting and pest control. Prior to 2026, there were also instances of graffiti and an abandoned vehicle that required attention. The property has recorded two building permits in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. Of historical note, there were two environmental complaints associated with the property - one regarding air pollution in 2020, which was found to have no basis, and an older recycling complaint from 1999. While the building's age and size are typical for the neighborhood, the relatively high number of recent service requests, particularly in 2026, indicates potential ongoing maintenance and environmental management issues in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 3000 W Palmer Chicago'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.
