Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 3033 W Lexington St, located in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood and owned by Kevin Drewyer, has a concerning record spanning the past seven years. Most notably, there are six unresolved building code violations documented on October 31, 2019, along with one additional unresolved violation from September 10, 2019, all of which were categorized as complaint-driven inspections. The property has generated multiple service requests, with a particularly high concentration of fly dumping complaints - five in total - between August and October 2025, suggesting ongoing issues with waste management in the vicinity. While there have been several tree debris clean-up requests (three in total) between October 24-30, 2025, all of these issues have been resolved according to city records. The building's permitted work record shows only three building permits issued in the past seven years. It's worth noting that the owner has two total parcels under their name, and while they have generated similar counts of violations and service requests (seven violations and thirteen service requests), the majority of these issues appear to stem from external environmental factors rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3033 W Lexington 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.
