Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 836 N Richmond St in Humboldt Park, owned by Jozefa Oquendo, is a century-old property constructed in 1912. The building's record over the past seven years shows limited activity, with only four logged 311 service requests and one building permit. The most recent service requests have been primarily focused on waste management, with two garbage cart maintenance issues reported in late 2025, both of which were closed. Earlier in 2024, there was one information-only call to 311 and a reported leak check, both of which were also closed. The relatively low number of service requests and permits over this extended period suggests minimal maintenance issues, though the concentration of recent complaints regarding garbage cart maintenance might indicate some ongoing concerns with waste management infrastructure, particularly as these requests were made just two months apart and were handled by the same department.

Risk rating

How 836 N Richmond St 2Nd'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.
