Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1938 N Kimball Ave, located in Logan Square, is a 130-year-old property currently owned by Laura L Llamedo. The building record from the past seven years reveals some concerning recent activity, with six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in May 2025, representing the most significant cluster of violations on record. While the building has documented six total violations over the past seven years, these recent violations appear to represent a notable pattern of unresolved issues. The property has also generated three 311 service requests in this period, with one building violation case from May 2025 (now closed) and two waste management-related requests from November 2024 regarding garbage cart maintenance and blue recycling cart issues - both of which were resolved. The substantial increase in recent violations in 2025, particularly in terms of their unresolved status, could indicate ongoing compliance challenges, though it's worth noting that the majority of historical requests (30) attributed to the owner across four parcels in the records system may not all pertain directly to this specific building or property.

Risk rating

How 1938 N Kimball 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
65thpercentile
