Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1042 N Trumbull Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Nancy Salgado, has been standing since 1917 and is part of a two-parcel ownership. Over the past seven years, there have been six recorded 311 service requests associated with the property and its surroundings, with the most recent being an abandoned vehicle complaint in January 2026. A notable cluster of incidents occurred on April 29, 2024, involving both garbage cart maintenance and a fly dumping complaint, though all three of these recent incidents were closed without indication of ongoing issues. The 311 service request history suggests minimal recent problems directly related to the building itself, as the majority of recorded service requests pertain to street-level concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1042 N Trumbull 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.
