AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 864 N Richmond St 1 in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by John & Robert Joks, is a century-old property constructed in 1902. The building's recent history (over the past seven years) reveals multiple safety and maintenance concerns, most notably three open and unresolved building code violations from June 19, 2019, resulting from complaint-driven inspections. While there have been 30 total 311 service requests logged for the property during this period, the majority of these (six recent requests in 2025) relate to routine municipal matters such as vehicle violations, garbage maintenance, and street cleaning, rather than building-specific issues. The only building permit filed in the past seven years appears to be singular and lacks detail in the provided data. The most concerning aspect of the property's record is the combination of the unresolved building code violations and a relatively high number of 311 service requests, particularly in recent years, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 864 N Richmond St 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.
