Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 901 N Fairfield Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Barbara Perry, has demonstrated relatively low maintenance of building-specific issues, with only seven building violations recorded over the past seven years. However, there has been a notable cluster of service requests in recent years, particularly in 2025, when six of the eight total service requests were related to tree management issues, including three instances of tree debris clean-up, one tree emergency, and one tree trimming request, despite such requests no longer being accepted. The most recent service requests, both from 2026, involved non-building specific issues: a dead animal pick-up and a tree debris clean-up. The building, constructed in 1917, comprises two parcels and has maintained a relatively stable record, with no significant safety or resident experience concerns directly associated with the building itself, though the frequency of tree-related service requests may suggest particular attention is needed in that area of maintenance.

Risk rating

How 901 N Fairfield Ave'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
30thpercentile
