Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3709 S Lake Park Ave, located in Chicago's Oakland neighborhood, is an 1888 structure currently owned by Christ King Luth C. The building's recent maintenance history from 2024-2025 shows a recurring pattern of tree-related issues, with three tree trimming requests and two debris clean-up requests filed between March and November 2025. The property has also experienced some concerning infrastructure challenges, including a basement water issue reported in late 2024 and a building violation documented in April 2024. While the total number of service requests (six) over the past seven years is relatively low for a property of this age and size, the recent cluster of both environmental (tree) and structural (water/basement) issues suggests emerging maintenance challenges that warrant monitoring. Each of these service requests has been officially closed, indicating that the city has processed and responded to the concerns raised.

Risk rating

How 3709 S Lake Park 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.
