Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 2829 W Washington Blvd 3 in Garfield Park is a three-parcel property owned by Barbara Johnson, dating back to 1889. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one building permit issued during this period. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system, with six of these occurring in the most recent seven-year window. The most recent service request, from April 2026, was regarding a street light outage, while the earliest documented service request from the seventh year was an "information only" call in April 2024. The intervening service requests have primarily focused on infrastructure and maintenance issues, including tree-related requests (both trimming and removal inspection) in May 2025, a blue recycling cart request in July 2024, and a sewer cave-in inspection request in May 2024. It's worth noting that the relatively low volume of service requests and permits could indicate either stable property conditions or limited reporting of issues, and the building's age may present unique maintenance considerations despite its limited service request history.

Risk rating

How 2829 W Washington Blvd 3'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

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

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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

Neighborhood percentile
35thpercentile
