Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3000 S Albany Avenue in Little Village, owned by Raul Hernandez, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there is an unresolved building code violation from September 2021 that requires attention. The property has generated multiple water-related concerns, with at least three documented incidents involving leaks or water issues between August 2025 and October 2025, including a complaint about water in the basement and two requests for leak checks. These water-related problems seem to have been somewhat persistent, considering they occurred in close succession.

Risk rating

How 3000 S Albany 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.

Neighborhood percentile
5thpercentile

Out of 5754 buildings in this neighborhood, 5466 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
