Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1939 W Belmont Ave 1 in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Mr. Bernardino, dates back to 1902. The property has a relatively limited service history, recording only five 311 service requests over the past seven years, with all issues being resolved. The most recent cluster of requests between October and November 2025 involved garbage cart maintenance and recycling concerns, suggesting some ongoing attention to waste management infrastructure in the building's vicinity. Prior to this, there were two abandoned vehicle complaints filed in 2025 and 2024, though these incidents appear unrelated to the building's condition or management. Looking further back in the building's history, there was a noted incident of illegal dumping in December 1994, but this appears to be an isolated environmental complaint from decades ago. While the recent service requests indicate some recurring waste management issues in the area, there are no recorded safety concerns or significant building maintenance problems in the recent past.

Risk rating

How 1939 W Belmont 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
