Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3059 W Palmer St in Logan Square, owned by Jennifer Kendler, is a century-old property constructed in 1914. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with only one 311 service request recorded - an information-only call made in August 2024. However, there are some noteworthy events on record that warrant attention. Most concerning is an environmental enforcement action from November 2020, when the property was found in violation of code 11-4-760, resulting in an admin hearing and a $1,000 penalty for which the owner entered a liability plea. The building has also undergone four permitted modifications or improvements in the past seven years, though the specific nature and impact of these permits are not detailed in the records. The property appears to have had limited code enforcement issues overall, with only one environmental violation on record, but the single instance of code non-compliance and associated fine stands out against the otherwise relatively quiet service request history.

Risk rating

How 3059 W Palmer St'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.
