Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3824 W Arthington St in Garfield Park, owned by Andrea Boyd, is a 1900 construction with a notable pattern of recent activity, particularly in 2025 and 2026. Most significantly, in April 2025, the property underwent multiple resolved violations, including both permit-related and complaint-driven inspections, suggesting an active period of regulatory oversight that was successfully addressed. The building's 311 service request history shows recurring issues with garbage cart maintenance, with three such requests in 2026 (two of which remain open as of now). There are also recent concerns regarding waste management infrastructure, including an open blue recycling cart request from June 2026, and a water lead test kit request from May 2026, which raises potential health and safety considerations. While there have been five building violations documented over the past seven years, and only one building permit recorded in this period, it's worth noting that all recent violations (2025) have been resolved, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements, though the recurring garbage cart issues and emerging lead water testing request suggest ongoing management challenges. The tree debris clean-up request from August 2025 was successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 3824 W Arthington St 1'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
