Initial analysis

The 14-unit building at 3009 W Armitage in Logan Square, owned by Jose Rodriguez, has been standing since 1920 and currently shows several concerning patterns in its recent history. Most notably, there are four open code violations from June 2025, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, as well as an unresolved permit-related inspection violation from September 2019. The property has generated a significant number of 311 service requests over the past seven years, with 64 directly related to the building and an additional 183 associated with the owner's other parcels, totaling 247 requests. Recent service requests from 2026 include multiple graffiti removal requests (all of which were closed), a restaurant complaint (closed), and a street pothole complaint (closed). Among the total 311 service requests for the building, 14 have been related to various building issues, including elevator inspections, pest control, and heating complaints, while 50 have concerned common area conditions such as plumbing, roof issues, and hallway maintenance, with several requests remaining unresolved. The building has also undergone some permitted work, though only four permits were issued in the past seven years, with three of these related to fire safety systems (two for fire alarm system testing in 2018 and one for a fire suppression system in 2023), and one for exterior work in 2020.

Risk rating

How 3009 W Armitage 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

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.
