Initial analysis

The two-unit property at 1616 N Kilbourn Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Irma Barrera and constructed in 1908, has had a relatively quiet history over the past seven years, with only 21 service requests recorded. The most recent spike in activity involves a series of waste management issues in early 2026, including three fly dumping complaints and multiple recycling and garbage cart maintenance requests between March and May 2026. These recent matters, while all resolved, suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and neighborhood cleanliness in the immediate vicinity. Prior to this cluster of service requests in 2026, there is no recorded history of significant incidents or complaints, indicating that these recent waste management issues represent a departure from the building's relatively stable service request pattern over the previous years.

Risk rating

How 1616 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

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.
