Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3141 N Hoyne Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a 125-year-old property currently owned by Steven L Franklin. The century-plus-old structure has had minimal documented government interaction over the past seven years, with only three notable incidents recorded through the 311 service request system. Two of these incidents, both occurring in December 2024, involved abandoned vehicle complaints, though the nature of these complaints in relation to the property itself is unclear. The most recent issue on record, from September 2025, was a rodent baiting/rat complaint, which was resolved and closed through the alderman's office. While the property's documented issues appear to be relatively minor and have been addressed through appropriate channels, the limited scope of available records should be noted, as there may be additional concerns or incidents that have not been captured in this particular data set.

Risk rating

How 3141 N Hoyne 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

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.
