Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 1625 N Kolmar Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by John O'Leary Jr., has been standing since 1908 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. The most pressing concern involves a current water lead testing request from July 2025, which remains open and suggests potential water quality issues. The building has also faced several othermaintenance challenges, including a rodent complaint that was addressed through baiting in September 2024, and a stray animal complaint from July 2025, both of which were closed. Additionally, there was a fire hydrant-related complaint recorded in October 2025 that has since been closed. The property has generated a total of four 311 service requests over the past seven years, with all reported issues having been resolved except for the current water lead testing request, which requires monitoring for any potential health implications.

Risk rating

How 1625 N Kolmar 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
