The 10-unit residential building at 3101 W Lexington Street in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, constructed in 1926, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years.

In terms of maintenance and safety concerns, there were three building violations recorded in 2025, including two plumbing-related issues in March and July, along with an additional building violation in August 2025, all of which were subsequently closed. The most recent documented incident was a stray animal complaint in March 2026.

Risk rating

How 3101 W Lexington Chicago'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.
