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 building at 1022 N Saint Louis Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Margie Polk, has been experiencing significant water-related issues over the past two years, with particular concerns about water quality. In 2026 alone, there have been multiple water lead test kit requests (two of which remain open) and one water lead test visit request. The property has also faced basic utility service challenges, as evidenced by a no-water complaint in December 2025. Additionally, there have been sanitation service irregularities, with two reported instances of missed garbage pick-ups in late 2025 and early 2026, both of which were resolved. The building, constructed in 1912, has a total of 16 service requests on record over the past seven years, though the majority of recent complaints have centered around water quality and sanitation issues. While this information highlights some concerning patterns regarding essential services in recent years, it is important to note that much of the building's historical data remains unaddressed in these records, and the full context of these issues may not be fully represented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1022 N Saint Louis Ave 1'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
