Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3819 S Kedzie Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Alberto M. Fernandez, has shown relatively low activity over the past seven years, with a total of seven documented 311 service requests. The property, constructed in 1888, has primarily experienced routine maintenance issues and local service requests, with the most recent incident being a water-related complaint on the street in April 2026. This was preceded by several waste management-related requests in 2025, including two garbage cart maintenance issues and a blue recycling cart request. The building's exterior environment has been the focus of attention, with a tree trimming request made in May 2024 (though this type of request is apparently no longer being accepted), and a stop sign repair request in December 2025 directed to the Chicago Department of Transportation. The relatively infrequent use of city services over this period could suggest either stable property conditions or under-reporting of issues, though without direct observations, no conclusions can be drawn.

Risk rating

How 3819 S Kedzie 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.

Neighborhood percentile
28thpercentile

Out of 3962 buildings in this neighborhood, 2853 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
