Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3926 N Oakley Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Barbara A Vincent and constructed in 1899, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past two years. Most concerning is an open violation for no building permit and construction activity, logged in May 2026, which remains unresolved as of the latest reporting date. The property has also faced recurring issues with garbage maintenance, with two separate complaints about garbage carts (in January and November 2025) necessitating official intervention. The building's residents dealt with a rat/rodent issue in September 2025, which was subsequently addressed. More recently, there have been complaints about a vicious animal (April 2026) and an uncleared sidewalk due to snow (February 2026), both of which have been resolved. Notably, the building has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests considering its age and urban location, with the current total standing at ten 311 service requests over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 3926 N Oakley 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

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.
