Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3500 N Leavitt St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Edward & Laura Drower, has been standing since 1907. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 12 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in mid-2026 related to tree maintenance issues, including both a tree debris clean-up request and an emergency situation. The property has experienced environmental enforcement actions in 2021 related to construction site cleanliness, resulting in a $500 fine for issues with a chain link fence, though a second violation concerning fabric mesh was dismissed with no fine. Two environmental complaints were filed in July 2021 regarding construction and demolition activities, with one being confirmed as a violation. Additional service requests over the years included a closed garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2026 and a pothole complaint in June 2025. While the building has had some maintenance-related incidents, the majority of recent service requests pertain to tree-related matters and public way inspections rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 3500 N Leavitt St'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.
