Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60651 16023030340000 3 units · 1923

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1114 N Hamlin Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Jaime Fajardo, has a recorded history dating back to its construction in 1923. The property has experienced notable water-related issues in recent years, with two separate leak investigations initiated in June 2024, along with a water in basement complaint on the same date, and an additional check for leak request in December 2024. The building's more recent service requests, dating from 2024, suggest recurring concerns with water management systems. While there have been some unrelated municipal service requests in the vicinity, including a pothole complaint, a dead animal pickup request, and a tree emergency between 2024 and 2026, these appear to be traditional urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. It's worth noting that the property had a vacant/abandoned building violation issued in August 2015 regarding maintenance and security requirements, though this was ultimately resolved through a city non-suit disposition with no fines applied.

Risk rating

How 1114 N Hamlin 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.

Neighborhood percentile
