AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 3627 South Cottage Grove Avenue, constructed in 2003 and currently owned by Delta State LLC, is located in the Oakland neighborhood and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The building has one open code violation related to a periodic routine inspection from October 31, 2019, which remains unresolved as of the current date. The property has generated a total of 20 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent clustering of requests occurring in June 2026, all related to tree trimming matters. Prior to these, there was a tree removal inspection request in February 2026 that remains open, indicating ongoing concerns about tree maintenance around the property. Additional service requests include an ice and snow removal issue that was successfully closed in early February 2026, and a tree emergency situation in October 2025, which was also resolved. The building's relatively few violations and service requests over seven years suggest generally stable maintenance patterns, though the current tree-related issues may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 3627 S Cottage Grove Ave 1'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.
