Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 447 N Hamlin Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Rubin & Ethel Martin, is a 125-year-old property that has had a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of six recorded incidents. The most recent documented issue was a no-water complaint in January 2026, which was closed after being addressed. The property has experienced a mix of municipal service requests, including an abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2025, an e-scooter parking complaint in June 2025, and a garbage cart maintenance request in May 2025, all of which have been resolved. Currently, there is one pending service request from August 2025 regarding sign repairs that remains open as of October 2023. Prior to these incidents, an inspection of the public way related to the property was conducted and resolved in September 2024. While the number of complaints is relatively small for a property of its age and size, it's worth noting that the majority of recent service requests have been successfully addressed, with the exception of the currently open sign repair issue.

Risk rating

How 447 N Hamlin 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.
