Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3717 N Seminary Ave in Wrigleyville, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by the David K Chang Trustee, has recorded minimal incident history over the past three decades. The property has maintained a relatively low frequency of city service interactions, with only two 311 service requests in the past seven years. These recent requests included a street cleaning request in May 2025 and a closed consumer fraud complaint from January 2025. Of particular note, there was an air pollution complaint filed in December 2024 that was validated and resolved within a few days in early January 2025, marking the building's most significant recent incident regarding environmental concerns. Historical records from 1994 show a permit-related complaint involving the Department of the Environment, though no details about the resolution of this issue are available in the current dataset.

Risk rating

How 3717 N Seminary 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.
