Unlock complete reportThe 8-unit residential building at 720 E 38th Street in Chicago's Oakland neighborhood, owned by Oakwood Shores Phase2D, was constructed in 2010 and has undergone limited documented activity over the past seven years. The building's records show a total of three building violations and 20 service requests through the city's 311 system. The most recent service requests were submitted in April 2025, both relating to tree trimming matters, while an E-scooter parking complaint from October 2024 represents the only complaint directly impacting resident experience or safety of the three identified service requests. It's noteworthy that the two tree trim requests are no longer being accepted, and there appears to be no record of repeated patterns in service requests or violations that would suggest systematic maintenance or management issues. The relative recency of the service requests and the nature of the concerns suggest more attention has been paid to property upkeep in recent years, though the limited number of incidents over the seven-year period could also indicate either effective management practices or underreporting of issues.

How 720 E 38Th Chicago'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.
Out of 131 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 are predicted to be safer.
