Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3114 N Southport Avenue in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a 133-year-old structure built in 1890, currently owned by 3114 N Southport LLC. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows remarkably minimal activity, with only one 311 service request and one building permit on record. The single service request was an alley pothole complaint filed in May 2025, which has since been closed. Looking further back, the property had one environmental complaint regarding air pollution in 2012, which was resolved by March 2012. Given the limited recent service requests and permits, the building appears to have maintained relative stability, though the dated nature of the records should be noted.

Risk rating

How 3114 N Southport Ave'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.
