Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3543 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a 1920 construction currently owned by Philip W Franchi. The property has experienced a limited number of municipal service interactions over the past seven years, with only two 311 service requests directly related to the building itself - a rodent baiting complaint resolved in June 2024 and a tree trimming request from March 2026 (though it's noted this type of request is no longer being accepted). The building's maintenance and oversight records show relatively minimal activity, with only two building permits filed in the same seven-year period, a figure that stands out compared to the owner's total of 10 service requests across all properties and the same number of building permits across their four total parcels. While the limited number of service requests and permits could suggest stable property management, it's important to note that these figures are based on available public records and may not represent the property's complete history or current conditions.

Risk rating

How 3543 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

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
28thpercentile
