Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 3118 W 63rd Street in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, owned by Raul R Arias, has a documented history dating back to its 1927 construction. The property currently shows significant unresolved issues, with six open building code violations from January 31, 2020, all of which were generated through complaint-driven inspections. While these violations have remained open for over three years, they should be noted as potentially affecting resident safety and building conditions. The building has also experienced recurring issues with graffiti, as evidenced by five graffiti removal requests between July 2025 and March 2026, though all of these requests were successfully closed. The property had one fly dumping complaint in January 2026 that was subsequently resolved. Additionally, there is an environmental complaint on record from April 1997 regarding service stations/storage tanks, though this appears to be an isolated incident from long ago. While the building's documented history covers multiple service requests and violations, it is worth noting that the only building permit filed in the past seven years is not specified in the data provided.

Risk rating

How 3118 W 63Rd 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.

Neighborhood percentile
