Initial analysis

The property at 3621 S Washtenaw Ave in Brighton Park is a two-unit building owned by Jose Garcia, dating back to 1888. The building has had a total of 20 building violations recorded over the past seven years, along with 102 service requests through the 311 system, indicating some ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The most recent cluster of service requests in 2026 suggests a period of heightened activity around the property, with multiple reports of graffiti (three instances in February 2026 alone) and two separate tree debris clean-up requests in June 2026. While these recent issues have been resolved (as indicated by their closed status), they suggest the property has experienced some maintenance and aesthetic challenges. The service request history also shows one stop sign repair request in June 2026, though it's unclear from the records whether this was directly related to the property itself or a nearby street sign.

Risk rating

How 3621 S Washtenaw Ave 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.

Neighborhood percentile
