Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14204200040000 4 units · 1906

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3307 N Clark St in the Lake View neighborhood, owned by So Wen Chow, has been standing since 1906 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. The property's service request history over the past seven years reveals a pattern of maintenance and sanitation concerns, with the most recent issues occurring in early 2026 involving graffiti removal. Prior to these, there was a documented sanitation code violation in December 2025 and a restaurant complaint in September 2025, indicating potential concerns with neighboring commercial establishments. The building's pest control needs were highlighted in July 2024 with a rodent baiting request, and there was also a June 2024 inquiry regarding recycling services. The property's service request history shows 17 total inquiries by the owner, though the majority appear to be routine matters with all recorded incidents marked as closed. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding exterior cleanliness and sanitation, all reported issues have been addressed according to the available records.

Risk rating

How 3307 N Clark St'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.
