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 8-unit residential building at 3615 N Lockwood in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by CAGAN MANAGEMENT, is a 1932 construction that has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance and infrastructure-related issues over the past seven years. While the building itself has generated a relatively low number of direct service requests (22) and violations (8) during this period, there are concerning indications regarding the property's current maintenance status, particularly when considering the recent spike in service requests. Most notably, in 2026 alone, there have been multiple open requests related to tree management and street maintenance, including a tree removal inspection and a pothole complaint. This pattern suggests increasing attention to exterior maintenance issues. Between 2025 and 2026, there have been several successfully resolved service requests including tree debris cleanup, a stop sign repair, ice and snow removal, and an abandoned vehicle complaint, indicating property management's responsiveness to various urban maintenance challenges. Of particular note is the minimal record of building permits filed over the past seven years, with only one permit on record, which may warrant attention to overall building system maintenance and upgrades.

Risk rating

How 3615 N Lockwood Chicago'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.
