Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1756 N Talman Ave in Humboldt Park, built in 1982, is currently managed by West Town Housing. The property's recent history shows relatively minimal building code violations, with only one documented violation in the past seven years dating back to August 2019, though this remains open and unresolved. In terms of service requests, the property has generated a significant number of 311 calls, totaling 207 over the past seven years, which could indicate recurring maintenance or tenant concerns. The building's permit activity has been extremely limited during this period, with only one building permit recorded, and there has been one environmental complaint on file. While the number of violations and complaints is relatively low for a multi-unit building, the combination of a long-standing open violation and the high volume of service requests merits attention.

Risk rating

How 1756 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.

Neighborhood percentile
22ndpercentile
