Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3024 W Jackson Blvd in Garfield Park, owned by Nijesh Chandran, was constructed in 2000 and has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past seven years. Most concerning is the cluster of four unresolved building code violations from July 2023, all related to complaint-driven inspections, which represent the most recent and significant compliance issues on record. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests in recent years, with a concerning trend of unresolved matters, including an open plumbing violation complaint from April 2026 and a tree planting request from August 2025. The building's permit activity shows minimal engagement with improvement or maintenance programs, with only one permit recorded in the past seven years. The owner has a larger portfolio with 12 total parcels, and while the building itself has recorded four violations and twenty 311 requests since 2016, the greater ownership portfolio has seen more activity with 12 total violations and 97 service requests in the same period, though most of these are unlikely to directly affect the tenant experience at this specific address. Historical records show a single environmental complaint from January 2000 regarding illegal dumping, though this predates the building's construction and may not be relevant to current conditions.

Risk rating

How 3024 W Jackson 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.

Neighborhood percentile
