Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 320 S Francisco Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Clance & Rosetta Guyton, has been in existence since 1898. The property has generated a modest number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 11 recorded incidents. Most notably, there has been a recent cluster of tree planting requests in early 2026, with four such requests (two of which remain open) between February and April 2026. In addition to the tree-related requests, there was one public way inspection request in April 2026 that has been closed. Looking back to late 2025, there was one incident involving fly dumping that was resolved in November of that year. While the building's record shows regular engagement with city services, particularly regarding tree planting, there appear to be no documented safety issues or resident complaints of significant concern in the available data.

Risk rating

How 320 S Francisco Ave'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
