Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60647 13363190120000 3 units · 1895

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1729 N Whipple St in Humboldt Park, owned by First American Bank as of October 2023, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety concerns over the past year. Between April and July 2024, there were five documented 311 service requests, including a building violation in April 2024 that falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Buildings, which could potentially impact resident safety or comfort. The other complaints during this period were related to infrastructure and pest control issues, including an alley light outage, rodent problems, and a tree trimming request. The property, constructed in 1895, has had minimal recorded permits in the past seven years, with only one building permit on file for both the unit and owner records. While the total number of 311 service requests for the owner in the past seven years is 32, the majority of these appear to be external to the building itself, with only the aforementioned building violation relating directly to the property's condition or maintenance. The building's age and these recent service requests suggest ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges, though the relatively small number of overall complaints for a three-unit building over this time period should be noted.

Risk rating

How 1729 N Whipple St 1'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.
