Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 3850 N Lockwood Ave in Portage Park, owned by Grace Aquino, has been standing since 1927 and has a relatively limited record of building violations and service requests over the past seven years. The property has one outstanding building code violation from April 2023 related to a complaint-driven inspection, which is currently unresolved and represents the sole building violation on record for this period. The building's service request history shows a total of 29 complaints or service requests, with a notable cluster of abandoned vehicle complaints in May 2026, including five such requests between May 6-26, 2026, of which all but one have been resolved. While there are multiple service requests on record, the relatively minimal number of building code violations and the age of the property suggests that significant structural or safety issues are not frequently reported, though the outstanding violation from 2023 warrants attention as the most recent and only building code-related concern on record.

Risk rating

How 3850 N Lockwood 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.

Neighborhood percentile
13thpercentile
