Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3710 N Lockwood Ave in Portage Park, owned by Alfonso R Ortiz, has a construction history dating back to 1907. The property has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one documented building code violation from January 2020 that remains open and unresolved, which is particularly notable given the typical number of violations found in similar properties. The building has experienced a recurring pattern of waste management issues, as evidenced by four separate garbage cart maintenance requests and one missed garbage pick-up complaint recorded between December 2025 and April 2026, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's waste collection services. Additionally, there were two infrastructure-related complaints in 2025 concerning an abandoned vehicle and a street pothole, though these were external to the building itself and have since been resolved. While the limited violations and service requests could indicate proper maintenance, the unresolved building code violation from 2020 and the cluster of waste management issues in 2025-2026 represent the most significant concerns on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 3710 N Lockwood Ave 1'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.
