Initial analysis

The 36-unit building at 3402 N Seminary in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Bil Mar Management LLC, has experienced various issues over recent years since its construction in 1926. The property has registered a notable number of violations and service requests, with 45 building violations recorded over the past seven years, along with 352 total service requests. More concerning is the current pattern of water-related issues, with recent water lead test kit requests submitted in 2026 and a no water complaint filed earlier this year. There have also been sanitation code violations recorded in early 2026, though these were subsequently closed. The building's history includes a single environmental complaint related to vehicle idling in 2017, which was investigated but found to have no violation. Of particular note is the building's history of house share violations, with 18 recorded over the past seven years, though only one of these appears to be current. While the building has received some permits (10 in total) during this period, the concentration of recent water-related issues and sanitation violations suggests ongoing infrastructure or maintenance challenges that have persisted into 2026.

Risk rating

How 3402 N Seminary 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
