Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1824 S Carpenter St, located in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, is an 1882 structure currently owned by Ismaldo N Navarrete. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 12 service requests through the city's 311 system. The most recent and notable cluster of activity occurred in 2026, where five separate graffiti removal requests were submitted and subsequently closed between April and June. This period also saw the handling of a dead animal pick-up request and a pothole complaint, both of which were closed as well. Looking further back, there was an illegal dumping complaint registered in 2017, though this was investigated and resolved with no violations found. The building's documented service history suggests periodic maintenance needs primarily related to exterior issues, particularly recent concerns with graffiti that required multiple interventions in 2026.

Risk rating

How 1824 S Carpenter 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

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
