Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3617 S Winchester Ave in Mckinley Park is a historic structure dating back to 1892, currently owned by Domneve 3617 Wheater A. The property has had minimal documented activity over the past several years, with only three 311 service requests filed in the last seven years, all of which have been closed. The most recent service request, submitted in April 2025, was for tree trimming, though this type of request is no longer being accepted under current city policy. Prior to this, there were two yard waste pick-up requests made in October 2024 and August 2024. While the relatively low number of service requests could indicate either good property maintenance or limited reporting of issues, it is worth noting that the most recent requests have been routine municipal services rather than building-specific concerns, with no recorded issues related to resident safety or building systems during this period.

Risk rating

How 3617 S Winchester 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.
