Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3342 W Lexington Street in Garfield Park, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by 1802 LAKE ST LLC, has experienced a significant number of recent issues requiring attention. Notably, there are five open, unresolved violations related to complaint-driven inspections that were logged on September 30, 2025, which represent a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance. In addition to these open violations, the building has had two resolved building permits issued in the past seven years. The property has a documented history of maintenance concerns, as evidenced by four 311 service requests in the past seven years, including a plumbing violation in June 2025, a building violation in March 2025, and a closed request for garbage cart maintenance from June 2024. While an earlier tree trim request from November 2025 is no longer being accepted, it's worth noting that all these documented issues have occurred within a relatively short timeframe, with most incidents clustering in 2025. The owner, 1802 LAKE ST LLC, appears to have a larger portfolio with 11 total parcels, and their overall record shows 56 building violations and 110 311 service requests in the past seven years, though it's important to note that not all of these may be directly related to the Lexington Street property.

Risk rating

How 3342 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

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
