Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3833 N Southport Ave in Wrigleyville, currently owned by J H Realty Enterprises, has been in operation since 1908 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. The property underwent periodic routine inspections in April 2021, resulting in one unresolved violation that remains open as of the latest records, while two other violations from the same inspection were successfully resolved. The building's maintenance history shows some cause for concern, with 30 total owner-related service requests recorded, including several in the latter half of 2025 related to building maintenance and pest control, such as a rat complaint, sewer cleaning inspection, and general building violation. Other service requests have addressed various issues like garbage cart maintenance, e-scooter parking, and even bee removal, all of which were closed after resolution. The only building permit recorded in the past seven years was issued in 2021, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available records. Historical data shows a noise complaint was reported in July 2005, though no further details are available about this incident.

Risk rating

How 3833 N Southport 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.
