AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 3916 N Richmond Street in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Scott & Keith Lacey, has been recorded with relatively minimal service requests over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1927, has generated a total of five 311 service requests, all of which have been successfully closed. The most notable cluster of incidents occurred in 2025, with three consecutive tree emergency situations in August and another tree emergency in June, suggesting a significant period of arboreal challenges around mid-2025. Additionally, there was one tree trimming request and a water on street complaint in December and January respectively, though these issues appear to have been resolved promptly. While the frequency of tree-related incidents might indicate ongoing maintenance requirements, the relatively low number of total service requests over this extended period could be interpreted as a sign of general stability, with no recorded complaints directly related to the building's condition or resident services themselves.

Risk rating

How 3916 N Richmond St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
