Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 2955 W Adams St in Garfield Park, currently owned by Serena Daniels, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1884. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few service requests, with only eight incidents reported, though this number includes two specific requests for external enhancements: a tree planting request from December 2025 (currently open) and a vacant lot cleaning request from April 2025 (which has been closed). The property has accumulated five building violations during this period, though the report does not specify the nature or resolution of these violations. Given the age of the building and the limited number of service requests in recent years, the property appears to have maintained relative stability, though the presence of building violations suggests there have been some ongoing maintenance or compliance issues that required attention.

Risk rating

How 2955 W Adams St 1'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
