Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60612 16121070290000 6 units · 1901

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 6-unit residential building at 3114 W Franklin Blvd in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Nelson Mandela APTSLP, has a documented history of relatively minimal municipal interaction over recent years. Built in 1901, this century-plus old structure has generated only two 311 service requests in the past seven years. Both incidents occurred within a few months of each other, with the most recent being a building violation in January 2026, following a sanitation code violation from November 2025. Notably, these are the only two service requests attributed to this property within the seven-year review period, and both have been marked as closed. The limited number of reported issues might suggest either effective property management or potential underreporting of service needs, though without additional context it's impossible to draw definitive conclusions about the property's overall condition or management practices.

Risk rating

How 3114 W Franklin Blvd'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

Out of 6229 buildings in this neighborhood, 4796 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
