Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3420 S Wood St in the McKinley Park neighborhood, currently owned by Frank Eng, has a documented history dating back to 1888. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in June 2026, where three open requests related to tree debris clean-up and a yard waste pick-up request were submitted. The building's service request history shows a relatively concentrated pattern of maintenance needs, particularly regarding yard and tree maintenance, with six out of the sixteen requests specifically related to tree or yard issues. Other documented service requests include a closed ice and snow removal request from November 2025 and a tree trim request from June 2025, though the latter was submitted for a program that is no longer accepting applications. The frequency and nature of these service requests suggest ongoing efforts to maintain the property's outdoor spaces, with the most significant recent activity appearing to center around tree management and yard maintenance.

Risk rating

How 3420 S Wood 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
