Initial analysis

The property at 2735 W Washington Blvd in Garfield Park is a 3-unit residential building dating back to 1890, currently owned by Laurena Lacey. Over the past seven years, the building has generated six 311 service requests, with the most significant being an open violation related to unauthorized construction work as of May 2026. The building's recent service history shows a notable frequency of information-only calls in mid-2025, alongside a garbage cart maintenance issue (July 2025), a dead animal pickup request (October 2024), and a leak inspection request (June 2024), all of which have been resolved. The property has required two building permits during this period, though the specifics of these permits are not detailed in the records. Looking further back, the building had one environmental complaint lodged in April 2002 regarding air pollution, though it remains unclear whether this issue was addressed. The most pressing current concern appears to be the open building violation from 2026, which stands out as the only unresolved service request in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2735 W Washington Blvd'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.
