Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 726 N Avers Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Floyd Stewart, is a 1898 structure that has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are five unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in October 2025, which indicate ongoing building safety or code compliance concerns. The building's recent service history includes a mix of municipal service requests, with the most recent being a street light outage and a water lead test request in May and April 2026 respectively, both of which were resolved. Prior to these, there were several other resolved service requests in 2025, including incidents regarding tree emergencies, building violations, and an abandoned vehicle complaint. While the building has a total of five recorded violations and 25 service requests over the past seven years, with a particular cluster of activity in 2025-2026, it's worth noting the data includes multiple entries for the same date (October 2025) for the complaint-driven inspections, which may require confirmation for accuracy.

Risk rating

How 726 N Avers 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.
