Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3530 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is an early 20th-century structure owned by Jill D Hopkins, constructed in 1918. The property has generated a total of eight service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent complaints indicating ongoing maintenance concerns in the surrounding area. Notably, there are two open or recently addressed issues: an alley pothole complaint from June 2026 and a tree emergency from April 2026. The building has also experienced several routine maintenance matters, including requests for a blue recycling cart (November 2025), dead animal removal (July 2025), and garbage cart maintenance (December 2024). A 311 information-only call was logged in March 2026, though the nature of this inquiry is unclear from the records. While the service requests indicate periodic infrastructure and maintenance needs in the vicinity of the building, there are no recorded incidents that would suggest significant safety concerns or directly impact resident experience within the unit itself.

Risk rating

How 3530 N Claremont 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
