Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 3140 N Lockwood St in Belmont Cragin, owned by Andy Strama, has been standing since 1926 and has maintained a relatively low number of service requests and permits over the past seven years. While the building itself has only one documented building permit in this period, there have been a total of eight 311 service requests, all of which have been closed out. The most recent service requests from 2026 include a finance parking code enforcement review and a stray animal complaint. Prior to that, there were various municipal issues addressed, including a pothole complaint, an ice and snow removal request, and two tree-related incidents in October 2024 involving both an emergency situation and a removal inspection, all of which were handled by the appropriate city departments. Notably, none of the documented service requests directly relate to building maintenance or resident-specific issues, suggesting that most concerns have been related to public infrastructure or municipal services in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 3140 N Lockwood 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.
