Logan Square, Chicago IL 60647 13363100250000 25 units · 1925

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 25-unit, 1925 residential building at 3047 W Cortland in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, currently managed by M&D Management, has a mixed record of building maintenance and resident concerns over the past seven years. The property has experienced notable rodent issues, with four separate rat baiting complaints filed between July and October 2025, three of which have been resolved while one remains under investigation. Environmental concerns are documented through two complaints, and the building has accumulated a total of 27 building violations during this period. The property received a total of 19 building permits in the same timeframe, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records. Recent service requests from March 2026 include an abandoned vehicle complaint and a sidewalk inspection request from July 2025, which is currently open. While the building has had 136 service requests filed under its ownership, most are relatively minor issues such as a street pothole complaint and various maintenance matters. Given the concentration of rodent-related complaints and the ongoing sidewalk inspection, these appear to be the most pressing current concerns regarding resident experience and safety.

Risk rating

How 3047 W Cortland 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.
