Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 842 N Fairfield Ave in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by L & MC Investments LLC, has been in existence since 1888 and has experienced 18 documented service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. Most recently, between October 2025 and June 2026, there have been several service requests primarily related to public services and waste management, including three blue recycling cart requests, one missed garbage pick-up complaint, one snow-uncleared sidewalk complaint, one tree trim request, and one public way inspection request. The frequency of waste management-related issues (three recycling cart requests and one missed garbage pick-up complaint) suggests some ongoing challenges with waste collection services. Additionally, there have been public safety-related concerns, as evidenced by the snow-cleared sidewalk complaint and the public way inspection request, though all these issues have been marked as closed in the 311 system. The building's service request history shows consistent engagement with city services, though it's worth noting that the tree trim request category is no longer being accepted as of the 2025 request.

How 842 N Fairfield Ave 1'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.
Out of 6211 buildings in this neighborhood, 4782 are predicted to be safer.
