Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1916 residential building at 3744 W Lawrence Ave in Albany Park, owned by Heng Sik Park, has experienced an unusually high concentration of graffiti-related incidents in the early months of 2026, with five separate graffiti removal requests recorded between February and March of that year. The property also faced other maintenance challenges, including a street light outage complaint in April 2026, though this particular issue appears to have been resolved. All nine service requests logged over the past seven years have been officially closed, and while the building's historical record shows another graffiti removal request in May 2026, this appears to be part of an ongoing pattern rather than a previously unaddressed issue. While the building itself is over a century old, the most pressing recent concerns appear to be related to external neighborhood conditions rather than structural or internal issues with the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3744 W Lawrence 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.
