Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3041 W Fifth Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Vincent L Humphrey, has a documented history dating back to its 1903 construction. The property currently faces multiple pressing concerns, with four open violation cases from June 2024 which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building has experienced various maintenance issues in recent months, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests between June and August 2025, including reports of plumbing violations, potential leaks, and sanitation code violations, all of which have been marked as closed. The property's historical records reveal a period of particular concern in 2016 when citations were issued under the vacant building ordinances regarding security and maintenance requirements, though these were ultimately resolved as city non-suits with no fines imposed. Additionally, there is a documented asbestos-related complaint from August 2000, indicating possible environmental concerns from over two decades ago.

Risk rating

How 3041 W Fifth 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.
