Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1161 N Pulaski Rd in Humboldt Park, owned by Mohammad Tariq, dates back to 1913 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Of particular concern are two open, unresolved building violations from April 2023 related to a complaint-driven inspection, which represent the only building code violations on record in the past seven years. While the building permit record shows only one permit issued during this period, the property has generated significant 311 service activity, with 50 total service requests attributed to the owner across all parcels during the past seven years, of which 28 are specifically linked to the building itself. The most recent 311 service requests from 2025 include various neighborhood issues such as street potholes, graffiti removal, stray animal complaints, a restaurant complaint, and a wire basket request, all of which have been resolved. The consistent pattern of service requests and complaints over this period, combined with the open building violations, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns warranting attention, though it's important to note that not all service requests directly relate to building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1161 N Pulaski Rd'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.
