AI summary

The two-unit residential property at 3252 S Racine Ave in Bridgeport, built in 1888 and currently owned by Houming Qing, has experienced relatively consistent municipal engagement over the past several years, with a total of 10 documented 311 service requests between 2015 and 2026. The most recent activities in mid-2026 suggest ongoing environmental maintenance efforts, with multiple tree-related inspections (both removal and planting) being initiated or continuing from 2025. Notably, a water lead test kit request was made in June 2026, which is an important safety consideration for residents. Earlier in the timeline, a water lead test kit request was made in June 2026, marking a significant health and safety consideration for current and future tenants. The record shows some environmental maintenance focus in the area, particularly regarding trees, with three tree removal inspections and one tree planting request documented in 2025-2026. While the number of service requests (10) might seem relatively low for a property of this age and size over a seven-year period, it's worth noting that three of the most recent service requests are still open as of mid-2026.

Risk rating

How 3252 S Racine Ave 1Fl'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.
