Initial analysis

The three-story multiple apartment building at 3801 N Lakewood in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood, owned by Dan & Carol Larson, is a 9-unit structure built in 1912 that has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The most significant recent issues occurred in May 2021, when the building underwent three complaint-driven inspections resulting in violations, though all were subsequently resolved. The property has also had relatively more service requests than average for the area, with 18 logged through the 311 system. Most recently, in the spring of 2026, there has been an ongoing situation with tree-related issues, including multiple debris clean-up requests and an emergency situation, suggesting potential concerns with tree maintenance in the vicinity of the building. Prior to these recent developments, there were two documented instances of water issues on the street near the property in early 2026, though these complaints were closed. The building's historical records show one environmental complaint from 2003 regarding illegal dumping, and its permit history indicates only one building permit over the past seven years. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the 2021 violations, and while there have been multiple service requests, these are generally routine maintenance and environmental concerns rather than safety issues.

Risk rating

How 3801 N Lakewood Chicago'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
4thpercentile
