Initial analysis

The six-unit, three-story building at 3835 W 26th Street in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood is a 1921 property currently owned by Antonio Gutierrez. The building's recent history, particularly in 2026, has been marked by a series of six graffiti removal requests between March and June, all of which were successfully closed. While the concentration of graffiti incidents on this property in early 2026 is notable, it's worth mentioning that these represent external maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns. In terms of official records, the property has generated a total of 16 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the owner having requested three building permits during this period. The building consists of six units, consistent with its official unit count. The relatively low number of service requests and permits, along with the building's age, suggests routine maintenance rather than any major structural or safety concerns in recent years. However, the recent pattern of graffiti incidents indicates an ongoing challenge with exterior property maintenance in 2026.

Risk rating

How 3835 W 26Th 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.
