Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1911 N California Ave in Logan Square, owned by Francisco Reyes, has been standing since 1887. The property has experienced a relatively limited number of service requests over the past seven years, with only six requests directly associated with the building itself. Looking at the most recent activity, there are currently three open service requests from 2025: one for garbage cart maintenance, one for a water lead test kit, and one tree trimming request that is no longer being accepted. The building's street lighting situation appears to have been addressed, as there were three consecutive street light out complaints filed between March and May 2024, all of which have been closed. While the property has had minimal service requests overall, the presence of a water lead test kit request and garbage maintenance issue in 2025 may warrant attention. The building's owner, Francisco Reyes, has a total of 31 service requests filed under their name across five parcels over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that only a fraction of these are directly related to the 1911 N California Ave address.

Risk rating

How 1911 N California 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.
