Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2129 N Kildare Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Dan Velez, is a 127-year-old structure built in 1896. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though most of these (13 out of 16) were related to municipal services rather than building-specific issues. Recent service requests from 2024 and 2025 have primarily concerned street infrastructure, including two street light outages and an emergency tree situation that were successfully resolved. The building's only permit on record from the same seven-year period stands out as significantly limited compared to the number of service requests, though it's important to note that not all repairs or maintenance work necessarily requires permits. While there were two abandoned vehicle complaints in early 2026, these were unrelated to the building's condition or resident experience. The life safety and resident comfort issues appear minimal based on available data, with no recorded building-specific complaints or violations noted in the provided timeframe, though this should not be interpreted as a guarantee of current building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2129 N Kildare 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.
