Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60647 13364190250000 4 units · 1982

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 property at 1758 N Talman Ave is a 4-unit residential building located in Humboldt Park, constructed in 1982 and currently owned by West Town Housing. The building's record over the past seven years shows a total of 207 service requests, with 13 of those originating directly from the building itself. The most recent activity includes an open garbage cart maintenance request from May 2026, while previous service requests between 2024-2025 primarily involved street signage and traffic signal issues, all of which have been resolved. The building has recorded five building violations in the past seven years, though the nature and resolution of these violations are not specified in the available data. The property's only documented environmental complaint and building permit issued in this period suggest minimal major structural or environmental concerns. While there have been no recent patterns of recurring issues directly affecting the building, the higher number of external service requests (207) compared to building-specific requests (13) indicates that most reported issues are related to the surrounding neighborhood infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1758 N Talman 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.
