Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3538 N Fremont St in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, built in 1904 and currently owned by 3538 Partners, has maintained a relatively stable record over the past several years. The property's documented history shows minimal building violations, with only one recorded in the past seven years related to a permit-related inspection in March 2026 that remains open and unresolved. The building has generated 21 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The majority of these service requests pertained to routine municipal services, including four finance parking code enforcement reviews (with the most recent in June 2026), two yard waste pick-up requests (February and June 2026), and a recycling pick-up request (March 2026), all of which have been closed. While the open building violation from March 2026 warrants monitoring, the overall low frequency of building violations and the nature of service requests primarily relating to city services rather than building-specific issues suggests no immediate red flags regarding the property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 3538 N Fremont St 1'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.
