Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1037 N Springfield Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Daniel L Murga, has been standing since 1906 and currently shows several concerning issues in its recent history. Most troubling are four unresolved building code violations recorded on September 20 and 26, 2019, all of which were generated through complaint-driven inspections. These violations have remained open for over four years without recorded resolution. The property has also experienced recurring sanitation challenges, with multiple missed garbage pick-up complaints in May 2026 (two closed complaints) and a recycling issue in April 2026 (closed), suggesting potential difficulties in waste management services. Infrastructure concerns are also evident, with a sewer cave-in inspection request opened in April 2026 that remains unresolved. While there have been numerous 311 service requests (31 in total) over the past seven years, most recent activity is concentrated in 2026 with six service requests within a two-month period, indicating potential ongoing maintenance and service reliability issues in and around the building.

Risk rating

How 1037 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.
