Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60651 16022270010000 6 units · 1921

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 3357 W Crystal Street in Humboldt Park, owned by Eliot Gomez, is a nearly 102-year-old property that has shown relatively consistent maintenance over recent years. The building's documented 311 service requests over the past seven years (from 2016 to 2023) total seven incidents, with the most recent complaints occurring in late 2025 involving street lighting, yard waste, and fly dumping issues. Prior to these, there were three abandoned vehicle complaints recorded between July and September 2025, indicating some recurring neighborhood parking concerns. Historically, the property faced environmental enforcement actions in 2007, resulting in two administrative hearing violations, each carrying a $500 fine, though these were resolved by the time of the building's most recent inspections. While the environmental complaints from 2007 and 1996 are on record, there have been no similar issues documented in recent years, suggesting improved compliance with environmental regulations. The building's service request history shows most issues are minor and location-specific, primarily affecting common areas or nearby public infrastructure rather than the building's internal systems or resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 3357 W Crystal St'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.

Neighborhood percentile
23rdpercentile
