Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 345 W Marquette Road in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, dating back to 1888 and owned by Malander D Jenkins, has a concerning record of ongoing building code violations and service requests. Most notably, there are currently five open complaint-driven inspection violations as of February 2025, which represent a significant and persistent regulatory concern. Additionally, a July 2024 complaint inspection remains unresolved, indicating potential ongoing safety or maintenance issues. The building's violation history over the past seven years shows a total of 22 building code violations, though all are from previous years as the most recent violations are from 2025. The property has also had two 311 service requests in the past seven years - one related to fly dumping (closed in June 2026) and another for dead animal pick-up (closed in March 2025), both of which were handled by city departments. While these service requests were addressed, they represent environmental concerns in the building's vicinity. The concentration of recent violations and service requests suggests attention is required to address ongoing maintenance and safety issues in this property.

Risk rating

How 345 W Marquette Rd'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.
