Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1647 N Fairfield Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Carmelo Ramos, is a 127-year-old structure built in 1896. The building's maintenance record over the past seven years shows minimal violations, with only one building code violation noted in August 2024 related to permit inspections, though this has since been resolved. The property has had five 311 service requests during this period, all of which have been addressed and closed. The most recent and recurring issue has been related to winter maintenance, with four snow-related complaints regarding uncleared sidewalks in November-December 2025.

Risk rating

How 1647 N Fairfield Ave 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.
