Initial analysis

The property at 2653 W Division Street in Humboldt Park is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Francisco Gamboa. The building's record over the past seven years shows three unresolved building code violations and four service requests through the 311 system. Of particular concern are two open violation cases from March 2021, both resulting from complaint-driven inspections, as well as a periodic routine inspection violation recorded in June 2022 that remains unresolved. The 311 service requests include a currently open sign repair request from December 2025, a tree trim request from January 2025 that has since closed, and two graffiti removal requests from June 2024, both of which were resolved. While the building has had various maintenance and repair needs addressed through 311 services, the persistent nature of the building code violations, particularly the open cases from 2021 and 2022, may be indicative of ongoing compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 2653 W Division 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.

Neighborhood percentile
