Portage Park, Chicago IL 60641 13211280170000 2 units · 1925

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 residential building at 3658 N Lockwood Ave in Portage Park, owned by Jose A Matias, has been standing since 1925 and has had an active history of maintenance and service requests over the past several years. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent activities occurring in 2025 and 2026. These requests have primarily involved tree-related issues, including both removal inspections and post-removal debris cleanup, suggesting ongoing management of the property's green space. The building has also experienced some pest control challenges, as indicated by a rodent baiting/rat complaint in March 2026. Other service requests have included routine matters such as a city vehicle sticker violation in October 2025, and a general information call to 311 in November 2025. Of historical note, there was an air pollution complaint recorded in 2004, though no related issues appear in the more recent service request history. The most pressing ongoing concern appears to be the tree removal inspection initiated in October 2025, which remains open as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 3658 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.
