Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1890 building at 3433 S Bell Ave in McKinley Park, currently owned by Raquel Zanoni, has experienced several notable issues over its recent history. The property has had four building violations in the past seven years, with a concerning cluster of three open complaint-driven violations from September 2019 that remain unresolved, though one permit-related violation from November 2019 was eventually complied with. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only three permits issued in the past seven years, raising potential questions about compliance with required building standards. Of particular note is the building's precarious history between 2014-2015, when it was cited multiple times (in September, November, and April) for failing to secure and maintain what appeared to be a vacant status, with additional citations for failing to provide required watchman services; however, these violations were ultimately disposed of as city non-suit with no fines assessed.

Risk rating

How 3433 S Bell 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
7thpercentile
