Initial analysis

The 72-unit residential building at 3949 W North Chicago, located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood and built in 2015, has experienced recurring issues with graffiti in 2026, with six documented removal requests in the first quarter of the year alone (January through March), followed by two additional removal requests in May 2026. In total, the building has generated 49 service requests over the past seven years, though most of these appear to be concentrated in the more recent months of 2026. One of the service requests in January 2026 related to parking enforcement, though the specifics of that incident are less relevant compared to the continuing pattern of graffiti issues. The property, owned by NO/PULASKI ELDLY LTP, has maintained a consistent record of addressing service requests, with all documented incidents showing a status of "Closed," indicating the issues were officially acknowledged and addressed by the appropriate authorities or management.

Risk rating

How 3949 W North Chicago'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.
