Initial analysis

The property at 3831 W Arthington St is a two-unit residential building located in the Garfield Park neighborhood, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by R&P Property Invest. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests on record. The most recent incident, filed on March 20, 2026, pertains to an open complaint regarding a building permit and construction violation, which could potentially impact resident safety and property compliance. Prior to this, there was a closed service request from September 2024 regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint, though this issue was unrelated to the building's condition or safety. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period could suggest either minimal building issues or potentially incomplete reporting, and the current open violation from 2026 is noteworthy in terms of building compliance monitoring.

Risk rating

How 3831 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.
