AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 3522 W Lexington St in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by CII INC, has maintained a relatively low record of service requests over the past seven years. The property has generated only three service requests through the 311 system in this period, with the owner himself registering a total of nine service-related concerns across two parcels. The most recent incidents, occurring in late 2025, were both related to winter maintenance, with two ice and snow removal requests filed in January and December of that year. Prior to these winter-related issues, there was a single complaint regarding missed garbage pick-up in July 2025. While the building's relatively recent construction (2008) and limited number of service requests could suggest reasonable maintenance levels, it's worth noting the cluster of winter-related complaints in late 2025, which may indicate some challenges with seasonal maintenance protocols.

Risk rating

How 3522 W Lexington 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

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.
