Initial analysis

The property at 3711 W Grenshaw St in North Lawndale, owned by Michael Pistorio, is a 1903 building with significant recent activity on its record. The most striking detail is that on March 27, 2026, the building was subject to multiple unresolved complaint-driven inspections, with six open violations recorded on that same date. This cluster of building code violations represents the most substantial and concerning portion of the building's recent history. Prior to these open violations, there was a series of six resolved 311 service requests between January and March 2026, including two plumbing violations on February 19 and January 27, which were investigated and closed by city services. Additional service requests during this period addressed various issues, including a fly dumping complaint that was closed on March 10, and two other building violations on February 19 and February 9, which also went through the resolution process. While the building has undergone multiple inspections and had several different issues reported throughout 2026, most of these concerns have been resolved, with the exception of the recent cluster of open violations from March 27.

Risk rating

How 3711 W Grenshaw 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

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.
