Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1891 bridgeport building at 3523 S Halsted St, currently owned by Wen Zhang, has a relatively sparse record of service requests and complaints over the past 7 years, with only two documented 311 service requests since 2016. The most recent of these, from May 2025, was for graffiti removal, while a December 2024 request concerned tree trimming (though it's worth noting that this type of request is no longer being accepted through the 311 system). The property has maintained a clean operational record in recent years, with no documented environmental complaints in the past two decades, and the only recorded complaint from 2002 regarding air pollution appears to have been addressed through a work order. The closed status of all service requests suggest that the building management has responded to reported issues as they arise, though the limited number of requests does not provide a comprehensive view of the building's overall maintenance and management practices.

Risk rating

How 3523 S Halsted St'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.
