Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3139 S Princeton Ave in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood is an 1888 structure currently owned by Jackowiak. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 11 service requests to the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026 and primarily involving issues related to tree maintenance and debris management. The most recent requests from June 2026 include one closed tree debris clean-up request and an open yard waste pick-up request. Throughout 2025, there was a notable pattern of tree-related service requests, with three separate tree trim requests submitted in May alone (all of which have been marked as "no longer being accepted" in the system), and one tree debris clean-up request in April that was successfully closed. The street tree maintenance issues appear to have been concentrated in the 2025-2026 period, with no recorded service requests pertaining to building maintenance or other resident services, suggesting that the tree management system may have been a particular focus for the property during this time.

Risk rating

How 3139 S Princeton 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

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.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
