Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3222 W Pierce Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Pierce Pyong Kim, has a documented history dating back to its 1905 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 11 service requests by the owner and experienced 12 building violations, though only one building permit has been issued during this period. Recent service requests from 2026 included a tree emergency and garbage cart maintenance, both of which have been resolved. Of particular concern is the owner's designation as a "scofflaw" in the past seven years, indicating a notable disregard for building code compliance or municipal regulations, as evidenced by the total of 12 building violations on record. While the property has been relatively quiet in terms of recent major incidents, the historical pattern of building violations and limited responsiveness, as demonstrated by only one building permit being filed, suggests potential ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 3222 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.
