Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2728 W Lexington St in Garfield Park, owned by Rayland Development Ltd, has maintained a relatively clean record since its construction in 2026. The building experienced one building code violation, which occurred shortly after construction on August 5, 2025, related to permit inspections; however, this issue was promptly resolved. The property has generated seven 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a fly dumping complaint filed in April 2026, which has since been closed. Prior to this, there was an unusual cluster of tree trim requests filed on August 6, 2025, all of which were submitted under the now-defunct application process and subsequently closed. The tree-related service requests seem to represent the most significant period of activity for the property, occurring during the initial post-construction phase in 2025, though they were directed to municipal services rather than indicating any building management issues. Since then, the building's record indicates minimal incidents requiring municipal intervention, though it's worth noting that no new permits or violations have been recorded in the subsequent years.

Risk rating

How 2728 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.

Neighborhood percentile
6thpercentile

Out of 3998 buildings in this neighborhood, 3758 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
