Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1640 W 32nd Street in McKinley Park, owned by Roger D. and Kath Murphy, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1868. The property's recent service request activity, while limited in number at 12 total requests over the past seven years, reveals some notable current concerns. As of 2026, there are two active requests: for tree planting and for a water lead test kit, which suggests potential environmental and safety considerations for residents. Among the completed requests, a September 2025 sanitation code violation stands out as the only complaint with possible implications for resident comfort and safety, though its specific nature is not detailed in the records. The building also has routine service interactions, including multiple recycling pick-up requests in early 2026 and a garbage cart maintenance request in June 2025, indicating basic municipal service needs are being addressed. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low, the presence of active environmental-related requests and a recent sanitation violation warrants attention to the building's current conditions and health infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1640 W 32Nd St 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

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.
