Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3640 N Ashland Ave B in Lake View, owned by L Warshaw, has been standing since 1908 and is currently facing some notable issues. The property has two unresolved building code violations from 2019 and 2021 that were triggered by complaint-driven inspections, indicating potential safety or maintenance concerns. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 47 service requests, which is significantly higher than the typical number of violations for a property of this size. While many of these 311 requests have been relatively minor and maintenance-related — including two recent sign repair requests, two graffiti removal requests, and a tree trimming request — the high volume of service interactions suggests ongoing building management challenges. The most recent requests from early 2026 include an alley pothole complaint (closed), though most remaining requests from early 2026 regarding sign repairs and graffiti removal are still open.

Risk rating

How 3640 N Ashland Ave B'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
37thpercentile
