Initial analysis

The two-unit, three-story residential building at 1642 N Kedvale Ave in Humboldt Park, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Gerardo Montoya, has maintained a relatively quiet service record over the past seven years. The property, which comprises a single parcel, has generated only three 311 service requests during this period, all of which were resolved and closed. These incidents include two reports of abandoned vehicles in mid-2024 - one in June and another in July - and a report of an injured animal in May 2026. Given the nature of these incidents, none appear to directly impact the building's habitability or resident safety, and the prompt closure of all complaints suggests responsive management of local issues.

Risk rating

How 1642 N Kedvale 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

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.
