Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 616 W Garfield Blvd in New City, owned by Verity Investments LLC, is a 1909 structure with notable documented history over the past seven years. The property has maintained relatively low internal violations, with only two building code violations recorded in the past seven years, though it's concerning to note that both of these complaint-driven inspections from February 14, 2020 remain unresolved as of the current date. The building's maintenance and service history shows engagement with city services through eleven 311 service requests in recent years, with the most recent concerns including a fly dumping complaint and an alley light outage from May 2026, as well as an open pothole complaint from May 2025. Previous service requests have addressed exterior maintenance issues such as tree trimming (November 2025) and graffiti removal (September 2025), all of which have been resolved except for the most recent pothole complaint. On a broader scale, Verity Investments LLC manages a total of 55 parcels, with their properties collectively showing higher violation and service request rates including 128 total building violations and 494 service requests in the past seven years, suggesting their properties may experience more frequent maintenance and compliance challenges as compared to typical benchmarks for similar ownership groups.
How 616 W Garfield Blvd 2'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 4189 buildings in this neighborhood, 3854 are predicted to be safer.
