Initial analysis

The property at 3840 S King Drive in the Douglas neighborhood is a 6-unit building owned by Verity Investments LLC, dating back to 1890. The building's recent 311 service request history from 2025 shows a cluster of maintenance and public service issues, including two leak-related complaints in June, street lighting concerns in July, and two tree trimming requests in March, though the latter requests were for a service type no longer being accepted. While these issues have been addressed through the closure of each respective service request, they suggest ongoing maintenance needs. Additionally, the owner has a significant history of building violations, with 128 violations recorded over the past seven years, which is notably high for a single building. The property has generated 494 service requests in total during this period, indicating frequent interaction with city services. While there have been 7 building permits pulled in the last seven years, the relatively low number of permits compared to service requests and violations might suggest limited proactive maintenance or improvements. The most ancient records show the property can be found in the 1890 Chicago map, originally containing 5 flats, 2 stores, an attic, and a basement.

Risk rating

How 3840 S King Dr'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
74thpercentile

Out of 303 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
