Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2935 W Walnut St in Garfield Park, owned by Rama Group International, has been standing since 1873 and has undergone several inspections and service requests in recent years. The property's most significant outstanding issue is an unresolved building code violation from September 2019, which suggests there may be an ongoing concern that impacts the building's compliance with current codes. While the building has had some maintenance and service interactions, including three filed building permits in the past seven years, the majority of recent activity has centered around tree maintenance, with three service requests made in May 2025 for tree trimming and debris clean-up - though it's worth noting that one of the trim requests was cancelled due to the program no longer accepting such applications. The owner, Rama Group International, has had a higher volume of service interactions than typical for the building, with a total of 26 service requests on record over the past seven years, though not all of these relate directly to building conditions or tenant experience.

Risk rating

How 2935 W Walnut 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.
