Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1929 building at 3838 W Huron St in Humboldt Park, currently owned by Miguel Pinero, has maintained relatively minimal issues over the past seven years. The property had one building code violation recorded in March 2020 related to permit inspection requirements, though this was promptly resolved and marked as complied. The building's service request history shows four incidents requiring city intervention, including two closely-timed abandoned vehicle complaints in April 2025 and a more recent vicious animal complaint in October 2025, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there was one garbage cart maintenance request in October 2024 that was also addressed. While the number of service requests isn't excessive for a building of this age and size, it's worth noting that three out of the four recent incidents were concentrated in 2025, suggesting some potential infrastructure or neighborhood issues worth monitoring, though these complaints primarily relate to exterior concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3838 W Huron St 123'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.
