Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1900-built residential property at 1917 N Albany Ave in Logan Square, currently owned by Irene Pereyra, has a documented history spanning over a decade. The building's most recent records from 2023 show a pattern of consistent yard waste management, with seven yard waste pick-up requests filed and successfully closed between August 2025 and May 2026, suggesting regular maintenance of outdoor areas. Notably, there were two service requests related to fly dumping complaints in 2025, one occurring in August of that year, though both issues were resolved through the city's response system. Looking further back, the property had a single documented environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping in November 2010. The building's total service request count over the past seven years stands at 34, which includes both yard waste and environmental issues, though it's worth noting that the majority of recent requests have been routine yard waste management rather than urgent maintenance or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1917 N Albany 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.
