Initial analysis

The property at 3027 W 40th Street in Brighton Park is a two-unit building constructed in 1919, currently owned by Jose A Perez. The building's recent history is marked by several incidents requiring city attention, with the most notable pattern being graffiti removal requests, totaling three incidents between April 2024 and November 2025. Additionally, there was one documented case of garbage cart maintenance in September 2025. The building's broader management record over the past seven years shows a total of 51 service requests, though the majority of these (47 out of 51) were recorded under the owner's name, suggesting consistent maintenance engagement. The property has also recorded seven building violations during this period, along with just one building permit issuance. It's worth noting that the building's violations and service requests history, while above average for such a property, does not indicate any single ongoing structural or safety issue, as the majority of recent requests relate to exterior maintenance rather than internal living conditions.

Risk rating

How 3027 W 40Th St'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.
