Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3530 S Wolcott Ave in the McKinley Park neighborhood, owned by Karla Arroyo, has been in operation since 1888 and has generated a total of 22 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent activity, in June 2026, involves an open request for garbage cart maintenance, while earlier incidents in 2026 included a closed graffiti removal request. During 2025, the property experienced several notable issues including a complaint about a vicious animal (closed), and both a rodent baiting/rat complaint (closed) and a blue recycling cart request (closed) in September. The building's maintenance history also shows attention to urban greenery, with a tree trimming request filed in March 2025, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. While the building has experienced various maintenance and environmental challenges over the past few years, the majority of historical service requests have been resolved, with the exception of the most recent garbage cart maintenance issue.

Risk rating

How 3530 S Wolcott 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

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.
