Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 322 S Kostner Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Annie Gordon, is a 1907 structure that has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most significantly, on August 12, 2019, there were multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six open building code violations, which remain unresolved to date. More recently, there has been one environmental complaint regarding air pollution in July 2021, though this was investigated and found to be an alleged violation without basis within days of the report. The building's maintenance history shows three building permits were issued in the past seven years, suggesting some level of authorized work has been undertaken. In terms of service requests, there have been seven 311 calls in the past seven years, with the most recent occurring in early 2026, including requests for blue recycling carts, garbage cart maintenance, and an alley light outage complaint. The property has also seen some recent activity, with a sidewalk inspection request filed in May 2025 that remains open, and other service requests related to street cleaning and abandoned vehicles that have been resolved. While the building has had various maintenance and service requests over the years, the most concerning aspect of its record remains the cluster of open building code violations from 2019.

Risk rating

How 322 S Kostner Ave'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.
