Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3122 S Calumet Ave in Chicago's Douglas neighborhood is an 1888 structure currently owned by Jeffrey Epton. The property's recent activity has been minimal, with only three documented 311 service requests in the past seven years, all of which have occurred in 2024. The most recent request, filed in July 2024, was for a sidewalk inspection, while two earlier requests in April and May of 2024 were related to blue recycling cart issues, with one being submitted through the Alderman's office and the other directly to Streets and Sanitation. Given the building's age and location, it's worth noting that prior to 2024, there had been no recorded service requests for this property in the previous six years, though property records should be reviewed for any additional historical context not captured in the 311 system. The limited nature of the recent service requests and their relatively routine nature (sidewalk inspection and recycling matters) may suggest that no major building issues have emerged recently, though this should not be interpreted as a guarantee of building conditions.

Risk rating

How 3122 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.
