Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 916 N Avers Ave in Humboldt Park, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Lonnie C Dessie Marshb, has a relatively modest service request record over the past seven years, totaling 23 reported issues. The most significant cluster of recent activity occurred between late November and December 2025, when multiple street light pole damage complaints were filed, with three such complaints recorded between December 3rd-4th and one street light out complaint on February 12, 2026, all of which have since been closed. During this same period, there were also two 311 information-only calls made in late November and December 2025, which do not indicate any service needs. While the number of service requests is not unusually high for a residential property of this age, the pattern of street light-related incidents in late 2025 suggests there may have been some localized infrastructure issues in the immediate vicinity during that time.

Risk rating

How 916 N Avers 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
