Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1912 building at 1136 N Kedvale Ave in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Carlos Vazquez & Z, has had a total of 15 service requests filed through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent service requests, occurring throughout 2025 and into 2026, reveal a concerning pattern of rodent issues, with three separate rodent baiting complaints (from September 2025, December 2025, and May 2026) being filed by residents. Additionally, there were two garbage-related issues in December 2025, including a missed garbage pick-up complaint and a request for garbage cart maintenance. Early in 2026, there was also a request regarding snow object/dibs removal. This building's recent history demonstrates ongoing challenges with waste management and pest control, which appear to be the primary concerns for residents in this two-flat building. It's noteworthy that the only other documented complaint in the building's history dates back to July 2001, regarding service stations/storage tanks, suggesting this issue was likely resolved long before the current owner's tenure.

Risk rating

How 1136 N Kedvale 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.
