Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3852 W Arthington St in Garfield Park, owned by Deisy Basanta, was constructed in 1905 and has maintained a relatively low number of service requests and building permits over the past seven years, totaling just 6 service requests and 1 building permit. The most recent service requests, all from 2026, include two open pothole complaints and a yard waste pick-up request, while previous maintenance issues from 2024-2025 involved several closed requests related to garbage cart maintenance and blue recycling cart services. Notably, there was a violation in 2011 regarding the duty to secure and maintain a vacant building and the requirement for a watchman, though this was issued as a non-suit with no fines. The limited number of recorded service requests and permits over this extended period, combined with the nature of the complaints primarily relating to municipal services rather than building-specific issues, suggests relatively stable building management, though the age of the building (118 years old as of 2023) may present typical maintenance considerations not fully captured in this limited data set.

Risk rating

How 3852 W Arthington 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.
