Initial analysis

The 3502 N Hamilton Ave first floor unit in the North Center neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1888, currently owned by John & P Thomas. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of eight service requests recorded through the 311 system, with the majority of these related to rodent control issues. In 2025 alone, there were three separate incidents of rodent complaints requiring baiting intervention - two reported through the Streets and Sanitation department and one through the Alderman's office. The most recent service requests pertain to tree maintenance matters, with closed requests for both tree trimming and debris cleanup in June 2026. Notably, the rodent control issues appeared to be concentrated in early to mid-2025, while the more recent concerns have shifted to exterior vegetation maintenance. The building's 311 service request history, while not extensive, suggests that pest management was a significant concern during 2025, though there have been no reported service requests related to habitat issues in the past two years.

Risk rating

How 3502 N Hamilton Ave 1St'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
66thpercentile
