Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1638 N North Park Ave in Old Town, built in 1890 and currently owned by N North Park Propertie, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The property, which is part of a four-parcel ownership, has generated a total of 22 service requests, though only 10 of these are directly attributable to the North Park Ave address. Most recently, in late 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding uncleared snow on sidewalks in November and December, with three separate complaints in November alone. The property has also seen activity related to tree maintenance, including an unfulfilled tree planting request from October 2025 and two closed tree trim requests from August 2025 and February 2026, though it's worth noting that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted by the city. The documented service requests primarily relate to external maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns, and while the frequency of snow-related complaints suggests some challenges in winter maintenance, there are no recorded safety violations or serious maintenance issues in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1638 N North Park 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

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.
