Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60651 16024040400000 3 units · 1912

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 1000 N Drake Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Urban Apartment Rental, is a century-old (built in 1912) property with a modest service request history over the past seven years. The building's master record shows 10 total service requests linked to the ownership, with 5 directly associated with the property itself. The majority of recent complaints from 2024-2025 have centered around street-related issues, including two tree trim requests in June 2025, two abandoned vehicle complaints in March 2025, and a pothole complaint in May 2024. All these issues appear to be street or municipal matters rather than building-specific concerns, and all reported cases have been closed. While the 311 service request history is relatively limited for both the building and its managing entity, it primarily reflects neighborhood street maintenance issues rather than problems directly related to the residential property itself.

Risk rating

How 1000 N Drake 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
32ndpercentile
