Initial analysis

The 7-unit building at 942 N Washtenaw in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by 942 N Washtenaw LLC, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years, with a particular cluster of unresolved issues stemming from a November 2020 routine inspection that identified multiple building code violations. These inspection-related violations remain open and unresolved as of October 2023, representing the most significant ongoing concern for the property. The building has also been subject to 311 service requests totaling four instances between 2024 and 2025, including a sanitation code violation, rodent-related complaint, and a tree trimming request, all of which have been closed, though one tree trim request was for a service no longer being accepted. An environmental noise complaint was filed in November 2021, which was promptly referred to the building department and reportedly resolved within one day. While the building's violation and complaint history is not uncommon for a structure of its age and size, the presence of multiple unresolved code violations from 2020 warrants particular attention.

Risk rating

How 942 N Washtenaw Chicago'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.
