Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3548 S Damen Ave, located in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood, has been under the ownership of Wei Sheng Tan since its construction in 1888. The property has experienced minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with a total of 10 service requests recorded through the 311 system. The most recent cluster of incidents in mid-2025 was primarily focused on parking-related matters, including three finance parking code enforcement reviews and an abandoned vehicle complaint. These parking-related service requests, while notable in number, pertain to street parking rather than building-specific concerns. Additionally, there was one garbage cart maintenance request and one general information call in late 2025. The relatively low number of service requests, particularly for a two-unit building with over 130 years of history, suggests minimal ongoing issues, though it should be noted that this data only reflects documented city service requests and may not capture all building conditions or concerns.

Risk rating

How 3548 S Damen 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
