Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3411 S Giles Ave in the Douglas neighborhood is a historic property dating back to 1888, currently owned by Harold R Caldwell. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows relatively few issues, with only three 311 service requests filed during this period. Notably, during September and October 2025, there were two bee or wasp removal requests at the property, both of which were properly closed by city services. Earlier in the same year, in March, there was a report of a stray animal complaint that was also resolved. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the property's historical record shows a permit-related complaint to the Department of Environment in January 2002. Overall, the recent service request pattern suggests occasional pest control needs at the property but no major structural or safety concerns have been reported in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3411 S Giles 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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