Initial analysis

The two-building property at 3701 N Damen Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Robert Goodman and consisting of 5 units, has been in service since 1904 and is experiencing several ongoing maintenance issues as of 2026. The building has one unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from September 2024, which is particularly concerning given the importance of regular safety inspections. In terms of municipal service requests, there has been a higher-than-average volume of issues reported, with 17 service requests directly related to the building in the past seven years, and the owner has had a total of 90 service requests across all parcels in the same period. The most recent cluster of service requests from 2026 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, including an open sewer cleaning inspection request and an abandoned vehicle complaint, though several other issues such as graffiti removal and tree emergencies have been successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 3701 N Damen 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.

Neighborhood percentile
13thpercentile
