AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3556 W 61st Street in Chicago Lawn, owned by Sarafeno P Misale, has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns over the past seven years, with the most pressing issues now emerging in 2026. The 1927 structure currently has three unresolved building code violations as of March 2026, all related to complaint-driven inspections. This marks a notable uptick in documented issues, as there were no building code violations recorded in the previous 6+ years of available data. The property has also generated 30 service requests through the 311 system during this seven-year period, with a significant cluster of recent complaints in 2026. Currently open requests include water on the street, tree debris cleanup, and street light pole damage, while previous issues this year (now resolved) included graffiti removal, fly dumping, and an alley pothole complaint. The concentration of recent service requests and unresolved code violations suggests increasing infrastructure and maintenance challenges at the property, though it's important to note that some issues reported through 311 may relate to public spaces rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3556 W 61St St Hse'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.
