Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3358 N Ashland Ave in Lake View, owned by Mara Shpakarov, has been standing since 1896 and has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been 67 service requests associated with the property, with the most recent and significant cluster of activity occurring in mid-2026 when multiple tree emergency reports were filed, three of which have since been closed while one remains open. This series of tree-related issues stands out as the most substantial recent concern for the property. Prior to this, there were two pothole complaints in the vicinity in 2026, one of which remains unresolved as of mid-2026. The building's maintenance record also shows limited permitted work, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting minimal documented improvements or modifications to the aging structure. Additionally, there is a historical noise complaint on record from March 2007, though this is considerably dated relative to more recent issues. It's worth noting that the property's service request activity appears to have increased in frequency recently, though this may also reflect greater community engagement with city services rather than solely indicating building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3358 N Ashland 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.
