Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1738 N Richmond St 2 in Humboldt Park is a 1878 structure currently owned by Tyler J Dunkel. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a verified hazardous materials incident in early 2024 that took approximately one month to resolve. As of mid-2026, there are two open matters requiring attention: an alley pothole complaint and a water lead testing kit request. The property has also been the subject of multiple abandoned vehicle complaints, with three such incidents recorded between 2024 and 2025, all of which were properly closed following investigation. An air pollution complaint was filed in early 2019 but was deemed invalid upon review. The building's 311 service record over the past seven years shows a total of nine service requests, including a closed sanitation code violation in 2026, indicating recurring issues with property maintenance or neighborhood conditions.

Risk rating

How 1738 N Richmond St 2'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.
