Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3317 S Giles Ave in the Douglas neighborhood, owned by Timothy Boyd, is an 1884 construction with a notable history of unresolved building code violations. Most significantly, on March 25, 2022, the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six open violations, all of which remain unresolved as of this report date. These persistent violations, dating back to 2022, represent the majority of the building's documented issues over the past seven years. In addition to these building code concerns, the property has generated one 311 service request in 2025 for tree debris clean-up, which has since been closed, though this service request appears relatively minor compared to the ongoing building code violations that dominate the property's recent history. The building's violation and service request records suggest potential challenges in maintaining satisfactory living conditions, with particular attention warranted to the multiple open violations from 2022 that have yet to be addressed.

Risk rating

How 3317 S Giles 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
