Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1720 N Albany Avenue in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Julian Villaseno, is a historic property dating back to 1890. The building's recent service request history from the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with a total of 11 recorded 311 service requests. The most significant cluster of activities occurred in late 2024, when multiple tree-related issues were reported, including three tree trimming requests followed by two clean-up requests for tree debris, all of which have since been closed. Additionally, there was one reported stray animal complaint in December 2024 that was also resolved. The property has maintained a low frequency of service requests overall, with no recorded incidents suggesting safety concerns or negative resident experiences. The most recent service requests indicate ongoing attention to landscaping and maintenance of the tree canopy around the property, though it's worth noting that the tree trimming requests submitted in October 2024 were marked as "NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED" in the system.

Risk rating

How 1720 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.
