Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 3210 N Halsted Street in Lake View, built in 1919 and currently owned by 3210 N Halsted INC, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years that potential tenants should be aware of. Most concerning is the presence of two unresolved building code violations from October 2022, which were part of complaint-driven inspections. While four recent building code violations from October 2023 have been resolved, the building's overall compliance history shows a pattern of needing inspections and addressing issues. The property has generated six 311 service requests in the past seven years, with three currently open as of 2024: one regarding no building permit or construction violation (opened September 2024), one for a water lead test kit request (opened April 2024), and two violation complaints from October 2022. The building has also experienced some external issues not directly related to the property itself, including three street-related complaints (two for potholes and one for graffiti) - these have all been resolved except the most recent graffiti removal request from March 2025. The presence of a water lead test kit request in 2024 is particularly noteworthy from a health and safety perspective, though its status remains open.

Risk rating

How 3210 N Halsted 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.
