Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3119 S Wells St in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood, dating back to 1878, is currently owned by Irene Burich. The property has experienced relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with a total of three documented 311 calls. The most recent call, from August 2025, concerned garbage cart maintenance and was promptly closed. Of particular concern are two closely-timed service calls from June 2024: one regarding a rodent issue (reported as a rat complaint) and another relating to a vacant or abandoned building complaint, both of which were also closed. Given the nature of these incidents, particularly the rodent complaint, and their occurrence at the same time period, these issues could have impacted resident comfort and safety. However, it's worth noting that since these incidents, there have been no further documented complaints or service requests in the past year, suggesting no recent recurrence of these issues.

Risk rating

How 3119 S Wells St 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.

Grade D–F — High risk

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