3607 S Central Park Chicago

Garfield Park, Chicago IL 60655 16143160340000 18 units · 1994

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 3607 S Central Park in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood is an 18-unit building constructed in 1994 and currently owned by Realty & Mortgage Co. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced a notable number of building violations, with a total of 171 recorded against the owner, which represents approximately 39% of all the building's 441 documented service interactions during this period. The building's service request history shows a recent trend of maintenance and safety issues, including a no air conditioning complaint in June 2025 and a building violation in November 2024, both of which have since been closed. The only building permit issued in the past seven years suggests limited recent improvements or modifications to the property. While there has been one property-related service request in 2026 regarding an abandoned vehicle, this was not directly related to the building's condition or management. The relatively high number of total service requests (246) compared to the single building permit issued could indicate underinvestment in maintenance and improvements, though this should be interpreted with caution given that not all service requests necessarily relate to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 3607 S Central Park Chicago'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
