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 property at 212 South Troy Street in Garfield Park is an 1883-built structure currently owned by Gerald L Woods. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of eight 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in 2025. This period saw three sanitation-related issues being reported - two violations and one fly dumping complaint - indicating some challenges with property maintenance and waste management during that year. The earliest incidents on record, dating back to early 2026, were information-only calls to city services, though it's noteworthy that these requests were placed in the future relative to the data's current date. The building's service request history shows a pattern of sanitation-related concerns in 2025, with no recorded violations or complaints for the subsequent years up to 2026, though this may not necessarily indicate a permanent resolution of any underlying issues given the variability of service requests over time.

Risk rating

How 212 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

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
47thpercentile

Out of 3998 buildings in this neighborhood, 2119 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
