AI summary

The property at 3430 W Lexington St in the Garfield Park neighborhood is a two-unit residential building owned by Samuel Woods, dating back to 1910. The building's recent service request history from the past seven years shows activity primarily related to maintenance and public services, with four documented 311 calls between 2024 and 2025. These calls included complaints about missed garbage pick-ups and water on the street in July 2024, along with a garbage cart maintenance request and a now-closed tree trim request in late 2025. The building's records also indicate more systemic issues, with the property owner having accumulated 22 building violations over the same seven-year period, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the available data. Additionally, the owner has applied for seven building permits during this time, suggesting some level of ongoing property maintenance or improvements. Given the age of the building and the number of violations on record, combined with the recent service requests related to waste management and environmental maintenance, these factors warrant careful consideration regarding the property's condition and management.

Risk rating

How 3430 W Lexington St 2'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.
