Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The property at 3348 W Pierce Ave in the Humboldt Park neighborhood is a two-unit residential building owned by Joaquin Ochoa, dating back to 1898. The building's recorded history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests submitted under the owner's name during this period. The most recent incident, from June 2025, concerned an abandoned vehicle complaint and was promptly closed by city services. Prior to this, in December 2024, there was a request regarding a suspected leak, which was also closed. Notably, both service requests were dealt with relatively quickly, though the two-year gap between the leak complaint and the most recent report is worth mentioning in terms of general building maintenance. The property's record shows no safety violations or emergency incidents on file, and the limited number of service requests suggests either minimal issues with the building or potentially underreported concerns.

Risk rating

How 3348 W Pierce 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.
