Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1952 N Richmond St in Logan Square, owned by Angel Martinez, is a 130-year-old property built in 1893 that has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2024, the building was subjected to multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in five unresolved code violations, representing the most recent and potentially serious compliance issues on record. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in the spring of 2026, when there was a cluster of graffiti-related incidents, with five separate requests for removal services recorded between March 12 and March 23. While most of these requests were successfully closed, they indicate a period of heightened vandalism activity in the immediate vicinity. The building's record shows a total of 21 service requests made through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the owner themselves generating 32 service requests, suggesting they have been active in addressing various maintenance matters, though the nature of these requests is not specified in the available data. The concentration of recent code violations and service requests, particularly in 2024 and 2026, suggests a pattern of ongoing maintenance and safety challenges that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 1952 N Richmond St'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.
