Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3244 W Carroll Ave in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood is an 1890 construction currently owned by Julie Brock. The property's recent history from 2025-2026 shows a concerning pattern of issues, particularly during the first half of 2026, when three separate hazardous materials incidents were documented between May 29 and June 16, all of which required emergency resolutions and were addressed within 1-2 days. The building also experienced multiple instances of graffiti that required removal in early June 2026, as well as two fly dumping complaints in February and March of the same year. An alley lighting issue was recorded in October 2025, and the property's environmental history includes an older illegal dumping incident from July 1994.

Risk rating

How 3244 W Carroll 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

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.
