Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2728 W Hirsch St in Humboldt Park, owned by Jason Williams, was constructed in 1922 and has a relatively clean compliance record over the past seven years, with minimal service requests and enforcement actions. The most notable incidents occurred in March 2020, when the property faced two construction site cleanliness violations related to its chain link fence and fabric mesh, resulting in one fine of $500 while the other case was nonsuited. On the same day, there was a noise complaint that was resolved immediately. The building's maintenance history shows two 311 service requests in 2025, including a graffiti removal request and a check for leaks, though both were closed without indication of ongoing issues. The property's environmental record is generally positive, with only one additional complaint from 1996 regarding air pollution, and no reported violations or complaints in the past seven years since the 2020 incidents. The building's owner has a total of two environmental enforcement actions and two 311 service requests on record during this period, suggesting relatively low frequency of issues requiring government intervention or reporting.

Risk rating

How 2728 W Hirsch St'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.
