Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2857 W Flournoy St in Garfield Park, owned by Frank Gonzalez, is a 129-year-old structure built in 1894. The property has recently experienced increased activity, particularly in early 2025, when two complaint-driven building inspections were initiated that remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of two building code violations and eight 311 service requests. The 311 requests from 2024-2026 show a concerning pattern of issues, including three closed fly dumping complaints (April and March 2026), two building violations (January 2025), one plumbing violation (January 2025), and one building violation (December 2024). Additionally, there is currently an open service request regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint from October 2024. While the older building has typical maintenance issues for its age, the more recent history suggests a growing number of external and internal building-related concerns that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2857 W Flournoy 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
45thpercentile
