Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3729 S Albany Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Adrianna Esparza, has a documented history spanning several years since its construction in 1888. Most concerning are three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from July 8, 2025, which are currently listed as open. The building's maintenance history shows previous attention to security issues, with multiple violations related to the duty to secure and maintain a vacant building, as well as watchman requirements, issued in October 2015, though these resulted in no fines due to a city non-suit.

Risk rating

How 3729 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.
