Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3130 W 55th St in Gage Park, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by "TAXPAYER OF," has demonstrated significant activity over the past seven years, including 7 service requests, 2228 violations, 8731 service requests, 338 building permits, 10 environmental enforcement actions, 33 environmental complaints, and 3 house share violations. The most recent service requests in 2026 were for graffiti removal and street potholes, while earlier in 2025, multiple pothole complaints were logged. The building's history contains notable periods of concern regarding vacant building maintenance, with multiple violations between 2011 and 2015 related to security and maintenance requirements, though these violations resulted in city non-suit dispositions and no fines were imposed. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street conditions, as evidenced by multiple pothole complaints, and graffiti removal requests in both 2024 and 2026. While the building has required numerous permits and generated a substantial number of service requests, the lack of fines associated with vacant building violations and the closed status of recent service requests suggests that these issues may have been addressed, though the high volume of overall violations and service requests warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 3130 W 55Th St 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.
