Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 3618 S Damen Ave in Mckinley Park, owned by Guanyue Mei & Yan Lu, has a relatively clean record since its construction in 1908. However, there are some notable current issues requiring attention. Most significantly, there is an open building code violation from March 2023 resulting from a complaint-driven inspection, which remains unresolved as of the latest data in October 2023. The property has generated three 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent relating to water issues on the street (May 2025), though this was subsequently closed. Earlier requests involved tree-related matters in 2024, specifically a removal inspection in April and a planting request in December, both of which were resolved. While the building's overall violation and service request history is not extensive, the open building code violation from 2023 warrants particular attention as it represents the most recent and potentially significant issue on record.

How 3618 S Damen Ave 1'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.
