Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1811 N Tripp Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Jesus Meraz, has been standing since 1898 and presents several concerning issues as of late 2024. Most notably, there is a cluster of unresolved violations recorded on November 6, 2024, following complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. In the past year alone, the building has had multiple documented issues, including a low water pressure complaint in January 2025, and three building violation complaints between May and August 2024, all of which have been closed. The property has a total of seven building violations on record over the past seven years, along with five 311 service requests under the owner's name, suggesting a pattern of maintenance or compliance challenges. The concentration of recent violations and service requests, particularly the cluster of open violations from November 2024, indicates that the property may currently be facing significant regulatory scrutiny, though the specific details and implications of these violations require further investigation.

Risk rating

How 1811 N Tripp 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.
