Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1109 N Richmond St in Humboldt Park, owned by Norwegian American Hospital, is a 125-year-old property constructed in 1898. The building's recent service history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only three 311 service requests recorded under the owner's name. The most recent incident, from May 2026, involved a dead animal pick-up request, while an earlier complaint from November 2025 concerned rodent issues, though both cases have been formally closed. The property has undergone very limited permitted work, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years. While the building's documented service history is relatively sparse, with only two service requests and one permit recorded in 2026 alone, the nature of the complaints - particularly the rodent issue - could indicate some environmental challenges in the area. However, it's worth noting that the overall number of reported issues is quite low for a building of its age and size.

Risk rating

How 1109 N Richmond 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

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.
