Initial analysis

The residential property at 3120 S Calumet Ave in Chicago's Douglas neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1892, currently owned by Michael Clayton. The building has had minimal recent activity, with only seven 311 service requests recorded in the past seven years, suggesting relatively stable conditions in recent times. However, a significant cluster of violations occurred in September 1998, four separate administrative hearings were held during this month, all resulting in fines of $1,400 each. The violations pertained to various code infractions, specifically sections 11-4-670, 11-4-630, 11-4-770, and 7-28-490. While these historical violations indicate that the property faced multiple compliance issues in 1998, it's worth noting that all these cases were resolved (as indicated by the "G" disposition), and there have been no recorded environmental enforcement actions against the property in the past 25 years. The absence of recent violations or complaints may suggest improved building maintenance and compliance, though no direct conclusions about current conditions should be drawn from historical data alone.

Risk rating

How 3120 S Calumet 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.
