Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1898 residential building at 3408 N Greenview Ave in Lake View, currently owned by James T Scianna, has experienced several notable issues in the past seven years that merit attention. Most concerning are the four recent unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in March 2024, which stand out given their current open status, alongside an earlier set of five violations from the same month that have been resolved. The building's recent service history also includes a pattern of minor municipal issues in 2025-2026, primarily relating to street maintenance and public space upkeep, such as snow removal (December 2025), potholes (October 2025), and graffiti (February 2026 and June 2026) - though these are generally less concerning from a resident safety perspective. While the building has had a total of 15 violations on record for the past seven years and 31 service requests under the current ownership, only two building permits have been issued during this period, suggesting limited recent physical improvements to the property. The concentration of recent open violations and the relative scarcity of building permits in proportion to violations and service requests could indicate potential maintenance or compliance challenges within the property, though it's worth noting that not all violations necessarily reflect major safety concerns, as many may relate to administrative or cosmetic matters.

Risk rating

How 3408 N Greenview 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.
