Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3910 N Janssen Ave in Lake View, owned by Laurentiu Ionescu, has been in existence since 1921 and has maintained a relatively low incidence of municipal service requests over the past quarter-century, with only one environmental complaint recorded in 1997 related to illegal dumping. However, the property has experienced a notable cluster of service requests in recent years, particularly during 2025, with six separate service calls concentrated between April and November of that year. These requests primarily involved public safety concerns, including multiple reports of lighting issues (both street and alley lights), as well as complaints about rodent problems, indicating potential environmental hygiene challenges in the immediate vicinity. The most recent recorded incident was a rodent-related service call in November 2025. Despite these recent service requests, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been marked as closed, suggesting that the city has responded to and addressed these concerns as they arose. The building's documented history remains limited to these specific incidents, with no recorded structural or safety violations in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3910 N Janssen Ave 1'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
