Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 3526 S Artesian Ave in McKinley Park, owned by Bernadette Rapp, has a concerning track record over the past seven years, particularly regarding unresolved building code violations. Most notably, there are currently six open violations recorded from April 19, 2022, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection that remains unresolved to this day. The property has accumulated a total of 12 building code violations during this period, though it's worth noting that the majority of these violations may relate to the same April 2022 incident. In terms of service requests, there have been three 311 calls in the past seven years, with the most recent one regarding a street light outage in January 2025, and two others from 2024 concerning an abandoned vehicle and a stray animal, all of which have been closed. The building's permit history shows three permits pulled within this seven-year window, though the specific nature and outcomes of these permits are not detailed in the records provided.

Risk rating

How 3526 S Artesian 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
