Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 3724 W Ferdinand St in Humboldt Park, owned by DSK LLC, is a 1914 construction that has experienced various issues over the past decade. The most pressing concerns are two unresolved building code violations dating back to September 2019, which could indicate ongoing safety or maintenance issues. The property has generated significant service request activity, particularly in recent years, with seven 311 calls in the past seven years - five of which between April and September 2024 were related to animal-related incidents (three stray animal complaints and one vicious animal complaint). The building's history also shows two building violations recorded between 2013 and 2024, including a vacant property violation from June 2013 regarding security and maintenance requirements, though this was ultimately resolved with no fines. While the owner maintains a larger portfolio of 35 parcels with 59 total violations and 303 service requests across all properties in the past seven years, only minimal building permit activity has been recorded for this specific address, with just three permits shown in the same period.

Risk rating

How 3724 W Ferdinand 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

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.
