Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 2617 W Division St 4 in the Humboldt Park neighborhood is a 124-year-old property owned by Epifanio Velez. The building's recent record, spanning the past two years, shows two notable maintenance issues, both documented in January 2025. The first incident involved water in the basement, while the second request concerned a sewer cleaning inspection. Both of these service requests have been closed, though the records do not specify the outcomes or whether any remedial actions were required. It's worth noting that in the seven years preceding these incidents, there were no documented 311 service requests for this property, suggesting either very few tenant concerns during that period or possibly incomplete reporting of issues.

Risk rating

How 2617 W Division St 4'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.
