Initial analysis

The property at 2727 W Washington Blvd in Garfield Park is a 3-unit building constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Charles B Dale. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows relatively few issues, with a total of five 311 service requests filed between 2015 and 2026. The most recent requests include an open garbage cart maintenance issue from June 2026 and an open water lead test kit request from August 2025. The property has also experienced some temporary disturbances, including a closed e-scooter parking complaint and a closed tree emergency in September 2025. Looking further back, there were two air pollution-related complaints, with the most recent one from October 2001 and an investigation in November 2012 that found no violations. The building's service request history suggests generally minimal maintenance issues, though the presence of both a water lead test kit request and two garbage cart maintenance requests over the past couple of years may warrant attention to waste management practices at the property.

Risk rating

How 2727 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

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.
