Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 1250 N Springfield Avenue in Humboldt Park, owned by Amy E Kaspar and constructed in 1910, has a concerning history of unresolved building code violations from August 2019 that remain open in the system as of October 2023. Particularly noteworthy are the vacant building violations from 2012-2013, which involved multiple citations for failing to secure and maintain a vacant property and requirements for watchman services, resulting in a default liability for $2,800 in fines. While the building's recent history (2019-2023) shows fewer major issues compared to previous years, there have been multiple service requests in the past two years, including a leak check, pothole complaint, graffiti removal, and a rodent baiting complaint, though most have been resolved and only one tree debris issue from June 2026 remains open.

Risk rating

How 1250 N Springfield 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.
