Initial analysis

The property at 3942 N Hermitage Ave is a two-unit building located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, dating back to 1885 and currently owned by Kyle Graden. The building's recent history (2025-2026) shows a pattern of municipal service interactions primarily related to environmental maintenance, with a total of 14 service requests filed through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most notably, there was an environmental compliance issue in June 2026 involving illegal dumping, which was promptly investigated and resolved within one day. The property has experienced multiple tree-related incidents in mid-2025, including emergency response and removal inspection requests, indicating potential concerns with tree health or safety. Other recent service requests have included infrastructure maintenance matters such as a street light outage and a water lead testing kit request, though these are less indicative of direct building condition concerns. The relative frequency of service requests during this period suggests active engagement with city services, though it's worth noting that a significant number of requests (including street tree matters) were generated through the 311 system rather than direct building issues.

Risk rating

How 3942 N Hermitage 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.
