Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3249 W Carroll Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Nicky Von Kondrat, has a documented history dating back to its 1910 construction. The most significant cluster of recent building violations occurred in 2019, when six separate complaint-driven inspections were conducted between August 27 and October 28, though all of these issues were subsequently resolved. More recent concerns have emerged as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in the past three years, including reports of rodent problems, building violations, garbage collection issues, and a leak inspection. The most recent service requests from 2026 include both a rodent complaint and a building violation, suggesting ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges. The property has maintained compliance with building inspections following the 2019 violations, but the pattern of recent service requests regarding waste management and pest control indicates persistent environmental maintenance issues affecting resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 3249 W Carroll 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.
