Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3263 W Carroll Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Ernest and Virgil Carter, has been standing since 1893 and has had a relatively modest record of service requests over the past seven years. The property has experienced some recurring sanitation-related issues, with three garbage-related complaints filed between 2025 and 2026, including a fly dumping incident, a missed garbage pick-up, and a rodent complaint that required baiting. Additionally, there has been one garbage cart maintenance request and two sidewalk inspection requests in December 2024, both of which were directed to the Alderman's office. While the building's total of ten service requests over seven years is not excessively high, the concentration of sanitation-related issues in recent years suggests this has been an ongoing challenge for the property.

Risk rating

How 3263 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.
