Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3235 W Lexington St in Garfield Park, owned by Latesicia Ann Barfield, is a century-old structure dating back to 1903. The property has experienced some concerning issues over recent years, most notably three unresolved building code violations as of August 2019, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. These open violations represent the most significant current concerns in the building's record. The property's maintenance and safety history shows attention to various infrastructure needs, as evidenced by four 311 service requests between 2024-2026, including rodent baiting in October 2024, a stray animal complaint in September 2025, garbage cart maintenance in February 2026, and an alley light out complaint in July 2024 - all of which have been resolved. While these service requests indicate ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges in the surrounding area, they appear to have been adequately addressed through proper channels, though the presence of multiple service requests related to sanitation and lighting issues could suggest recurring neighborhood concerns.

Risk rating

How 3235 W Lexington St 1'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.
