Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1939 N Kimball Ave in Logan Square, owned by Clay Thomas and constructed in 1910, has had a relatively quiet maintenance and incident history over the past seven years. The property has seen six documented 311 service requests, with the majority (five out of six) relating to fly dumping complaints, all of which have been resolved and closed. These complaints were made between February 2025 and March 2026, indicating a somewhat persistent issue with waste disposal in the vicinity of the property. In addition to the waste-related incidents, there was one request for bee/wasp removal in September 2025 and a graffiti removal request in April 2024, both of which were successfully resolved. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the records. The property owner holds two parcels in total, but no significant pattern of complaints or violations related to building conditions or resident safety has been documented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1939 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.
