Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 415 S Homan Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Darnell Lee, has been standing since 1894 and is one of three parcels owned by Lee. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, with particular attention warranted to three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in March 2023. While these specific violations have not been resolved as of the latest data, they represent the most recent and potentially serious issues on record. The building has also generated a total of 44 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent three requests between 2025-2026 focusing on various issues including fly dumping, sanitation code violations, and a missing street light pole door. The volume of service requests relative to the building's size and unit count, combined with the open violations from 2023, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that may affect resident comfort and security.

Risk rating

How 415 S Homan 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
