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 three-unit residential building at 3717 N Magnolia Ave in Wrigleyville, owned by WM Limacher, is a two-story structure built in 1904. The property has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit issued during this period. A notable cluster of service requests emerged in March 2024, including both a no building permit/construction violation and a general building violation, which, while now resolved, suggest some regulatory compliance issues at that time. More recently, in December 2025, there were two separate service requests related to waste management - one for blue recycling cart services and another for garbage cart maintenance - both of which have been closed. The total of six 311 service requests and one building permit over seven years indicates relatively low administrative activity, though the building does appear to have encountered some issues with waste management compliance in recent years, as evidenced by the permit-related service requests and the garbage cart maintenance request.

Risk rating

How 3717 N Magnolia 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.

Neighborhood percentile
32ndpercentile
