Initial analysis

The 18-unit, 124-year-old building at 3500 N Reta in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, currently managed by BIL MAR MANAGEMENT LLC, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's documented history of house share prohibition violations, totaling 18 over the past seven years, along with 45 building violations during the same period, suggesting recurring compliance challenges. The property has generated significant service requests, with 352 recorded by the owner, including a recent water lead test kit request currently showing as open. Between April and May 2026 alone, there have been multiple service requests including issues with sanitation code violations, street cleaning, rodent complaints, and water on the street, though most of these have been resolved. An environmental complaint regarding construction and demolition activities was filed in May 2025, but no violation was found upon inspection. The building's permit history shows minimal activity over the past seven years, with only 10 total permits issued. While the property has had relatively few environmental complaints (only one in seven years), the sheer volume of service requests and violations suggests ongoing management challenges that may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 3500 N Reta 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
