Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3508 S Washtenaw Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Kai Kwong Wong, is an 1888 structure that has generated a total of seven service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of complaints in 2025 includes three garbage-related issues (missed pick-up, cart maintenance, and one unrelated to garbage), while there was also a street-related complaint about a pothole. Earlier in 2024, concerns were raised about an injured animal and a tree planting request that remains open as of this report. Looking further back, there was a hazardous materials complaint filed in August 2007, though there have been no documented environmental issues in the past 16 years. The service requests primarily relate to municipal services rather than building-specific concerns, and all recent requests have been properly closed, with the exception of one pending tree-related matter.

Risk rating

How 3508 S Washtenaw 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
