Unlock complete reportThe four-unit building at 3131 N Clybourn Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, constructed in 1952 and currently owned by 3131 N Clybourn LLC, has experienced several noteworthy issues over its history. The most recent documented incident was a graffiti removal request in August 2024, which was promptly closed. Of particular concern is a water pollution incident in January 2022, though this was resolved within a day. The building's environmental violation history includes three notable instances between 2007 and 2016, all related to improper operation instructions for process equipment, with two violations in 2016 leading to a $200 fine (though the records also indicate a liability plea with a fine of $-200) and one in 2013 resulting in a non-suit disposition. The property has a number of historical complaints dating back to the 1990s, including air pollution (1996), permit issues (1994), noise (2001), and a hazardous materials work order (2004). The building's recent record indicates relatively few incidents, with only one 311 service request and one environmental complaint in the past seven years, suggesting improved conditions in recent years compared to its earlier history of environmental and operational issues.

How 3131 N Clybourn 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.
Out of 2650 buildings in this neighborhood, 1988 are predicted to be safer.
