Initial analysis

The 3500 S Artesian building in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood is a 21-unit, 1909 construction currently owned by 3500 Artesian LLC. The property has experienced a notable number of incidents over the past seven years, with 27 building violations and 25 311 service requests recorded during this period. Most concerningly, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of November 28, 2025, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection. While there appears to be a consistent pattern of issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple building violations and plumbing problems recorded between July and November, the building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one permit issued in the past seven years. Additional quality-of-life issues have been documented through 311 requests, including three graffiti removal requests (one in May 2026, one in January 2026, and one in July 2025), all of which were closed. The combination of unresolved building code violations and the frequency of service requests throughout 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at this property, though it's worth noting that the resolution status of some violations and requests would require further verification to determine their current impact on the building's condition and resident experience.

Risk rating

How 3500 S Artesian 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

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
