Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 208 S Troy Street in Garfield Park, owned by Natasha Tims, is an 1883 structure that has experienced several concerning incidents over the past two years, with all records indicating closed statuses. The most recent cluster of events in February 2026 raises particular attention, with three connected incidents involving animal-related issues including a Pet Wellness Check, a Sanitation Code Violation, and a Vicious Animal Complaint. Earlier events in 2024 included a Dead Animal Pick-Up Request in August and an informational call to 311 in June. The building's record shows a total of five service requests over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved, though some of the recent animal-related incidents suggest ongoing challenges with pet management and sanitation in the vicinity of this property.

Risk rating

How 208 S Troy 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.
