AI summary

The three-unit residential building located at 3232 W Lexington Street in the Garfield Park neighborhood is a 125-year-old structure owned by Diane King. The building's documented history over the past seven years reveals minimal activity, with only one 311 service request recorded during this period. The sole request, pertaining to a tree trimming matter, was submitted in November 2025 (though it appears to have been submitted beyond the current data range) and has since been closed. This limited incidence of service requests, particularly in a multi-unit dwelling context, could indicate either effective property management or potential underreporting of issues, though no definitive conclusions can be drawn without additional data. The building's age of 125 years makes it one of the older residential structures in Chicago, though not uncommon for its neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 3232 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.
