Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3949 S Talman Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Martha S Navarro, is a 1925 structure that has experienced minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property's record shows only one building permit application during this period, and two service requests made through the city's 311 system. Both service requests were related to tree maintenance issues in 2024, specifically a tree trimming request (which the city currently is no longer accepting) and a tree debris clean-up request that went through the Alderman's office. Both of these requests have been marked as closed. The limited number of service requests and permits on record could suggest either contentment and minimal issues within the building, or potentially indicate incomplete documentation rather than routine maintenance patterns.

Risk rating

How 3949 S Talman 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.
