Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 3929 W Gladys Ave in Garfield Park, owned by TD REO FUND LLC, has been in operation since 1913 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The property currently has five unresolved building code violations dating back to October 2019, all resulting from a complaint-driven inspection on the same date. These open violations represent the most significant current concerns regarding the building's condition and compliance with safety regulations. The building's violation history is concerning, with a total of ten building violations recorded over the past seven years, alongside eight scofflaw violations, indicating non-compliance with municipal codes. The property has had minimal building permit activity during this period, with only two permits issued, though the owner has filed for four permits in total. Only one 311 service request has been recorded in the system for this address in the past seven years, which was for a tree trimming request made in March 2026 and has since been closed. The persistence of open violations since 2019, combined with the relatively low number of service requests and permits compared to the number of violations, suggests potential ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at this property.

Risk rating

How 3929 W Gladys Ave'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.
