Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 3843 S Kedzie in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, built in 1903 and currently owned by Marquette BK TR 11103, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, as of December 5, 2023, there are currently six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations, which represent the most recent and serious concerns about the building's condition. Looking at the broader record over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of nine building code violations and 23 service requests through the 311 system, indicating persistent issues requiring city intervention. The property has maintained active engagement with city services, particularly in 2026, when there were multiple service requests including sanitation code violations, stray animal complaints, a vacant/abandoned building complaint, graffiti removal, and a plumbing violation - all of which have been marked as closed. Notably, there has been only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which some may consider unusually low for a building of this age and size. While the property has had various complaints and violations over time, it's important to note that many of the 311 service requests from 2026 have been resolved, though the current open violations as of December 2023 warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 3843 S Kedzie Chicago'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
