Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3610 W Chicago Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Raed Samhan, was constructed in 1906 and has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently three unresolved complaint-driven inspections as of October 27, 2023, all of which remain open. The building's recent history shows a pattern of violations and service requests, with the current owner having accumulated 59 total building violations and 16 service requests over the past seven years, though these numbers are not all directly related to the current property as they encompass all parcels owned by Samhan. There have been multiple closed cases in 2026 related to building violations and construction issues, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges. Between 2025 and 2026, there were three documented instances of graffiti on the property that required removal, all of which were resolved. The building's permit record is minimal, showing only one permit issued in the past seven years, which raises questions about potential unpermitted work given the multiple violation reports related to construction issues.

Risk rating

How 3610 W Chicago 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.
