Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1620 N Kilbourn Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Vidal Torres, is a century-old property (built in 1903) that has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, there were multiple open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections, indicating ongoing concerns that have yet to be resolved. The building has a documented history of environmental concerns, with two environmental enforcement actions and two complaints within the past seven years, including a validated air pollution incident in June 2023 that resulted in two administrative violations with fines totaling $2,000 for conditions deemed detrimental to health and public nuisance. The property has accumulated 30 building code violations over the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the record. Additionally, there have been three 311 service requests in this period, including a business complaint and two abandoned vehicle complaints, all of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 1620 N Kilbourn 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

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
