Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3051 N Racine Ave in Lake View, currently owned by Quantum Partners LLC, is a 129-year-old structure that has maintained a relatively low incidence of service requests and violations over the past seven years. The property has recorded four 311 service requests in this period, with the most recent being a yard waste pickup request in March 2026, followed by two tree trim requests in late 2025 and a water lead test kit request in July 2025 - the latter representing an important health and safety precaution that was properly addressed. The building's permit activity shows minimal engagement with city services, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years and only one building violation on record during this period, suggesting generally good maintenance practices. Notably, the owner has submitted a total of 20 service requests, though the nature of these requests is not detailed in the available data. The property's relatively low number of complaints and violations over such an extended period, combined with the owner's proactive water lead testing and timely response to municipal service requests, indicates a property that is being maintained with appropriate attention to basic infrastructure and safety requirements, despite its age.

Risk rating

How 3051 N Racine 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.
