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 five-unit residential building at 3659 S Winchester Ave in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood, owned by Rosendo Svarez Del Rea, is a 130-year-old property constructed in 1893. The building's recent service request history over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of maintenance issues, with only four documented 311 service requests. Three of these requests in 2025 were related to graffiti removal, indicating some occasional maintenance needs regarding building aesthetics. The most recent service request from June 2026 involved tree debris clean-up, while an earlier request from April 2025 for tree trimming was submitted under a now-defunct program. While the building's documented service requests are minimal, the nature of these issues suggests regular seasonal maintenance related to external surroundings, rather than any significant concerns about the building structure or systems themselves.

Risk rating

How 3659 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

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
12thpercentile
