Initial analysis

The property at 3736 S Calumet Ave in the Douglas neighborhood is a single-parcel building constructed in 1999 and currently owned by Sylvester Thompson. Over the past seven years, the building has generated nine service requests through Chicago's 311 system. The most recent cluster of service requests from early 2026 suggests some water-related infrastructure issues in the vicinity, with three separate reports of water-related problems, including two leak checks and one water-on-street complaint. There was also a pothole complaint in the street and a dead animal pickup request, though these were external to the building itself. It's worth noting that the building's service request history has been relatively modest overall, with no reported complaints or incidents suggesting significant resident safety concerns. The only environmental complaint on record dates back to 1995, prior to the building's construction, related to air pollution.

Risk rating

How 3736 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

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.
