Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1897 Lake View building at 3040 N Southport Ave 1F, currently owned by IVAF Holdings LLC, has maintained a relatively incident-free record over the past seven years, with only two reported 311 service requests during this period. Both requests, which were initiated in the summer of 2024, concerned dead animal pick-up services and have since been closed. While the frequency of these specific incidents may warrant casual attention, it's important to note that they occurred within a short time frame of each other (both in 2024) and there are no other recorded service requests or complaints on file. The building's overall service record over seven years can be characterized as minimal, with only two requests noted during this period.

Risk rating

How 3040 N Southport Ave 1F'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.
