Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1429 N Ridgeway Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Jose Salgado, has been operational since 1908 and is recorded to have had relatively few issues over the past seven years. The property has maintained a standard profile with only eight service requests filed through the 311 system during this period, along with one building permit application. The most striking pattern emerged in late 2024, when three separate graffiti incidents were reported and subsequently addressed in December of that year. Moving into 2025, the property experienced two parking-related enforcement reviews in October, followed by a sanitation code violation in April 2026, though all these issues were also resolved. The building's relatively low number of complaints, especially considering its age and location, combined with the prompt resolution of reported issues, suggests basic compliance with city regulations, though the concentration of graffiti incidents in late 2024 stands out as the most significant cluster of service requests on record.

Risk rating

How 1429 N Ridgeway Ave 2Fl'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
