Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 3259 N Leavitt St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Daniel McGarry, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, as of May 2025, there are currently four unresolved complaint-driven building code violations that remain open. While these violations were recorded in the future date of May 14, 2025, their current open status suggests they may have been included in error and warrant verification. The building has generated 18 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent concerning tree debris cleanup in June 2026. Other notable service requests include a water lead test kit request in September 2025 and a pothole complaint in March 2026, both of which have been resolved. The property has also experienced recurring issues with tree maintenance, as evidenced by three tree-related service requests in 2026, including one tree trim request that is no longer being accepted. While these environmental issues are concerning, particularly the open building code violations, it's important to note that many of the service requests appear to be related to external factors rather than building-specific problems.

How 3259 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
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.
Out of 2650 buildings in this neighborhood, 1007 are predicted to be safer.
