740 N Homan Ave

Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60624 16112030220000

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-story residential property at 740 N Homan Ave in Humboldt Park, built in 1906 and currently owned by Ketesha L Hudson, has experienced relatively minimal documented issues over the past two decades. The most notable pattern in recent history, particularly in 2025-2026, has been a cluster of service requests related to waste management, with multiple reports of garbage cart maintenance needed and fly dumping complaints occurring in March 2026. Between 2025-2026, there were three documented instances requiring garbage cart maintenance (March 2026, September 2025), along with two fly dumping complaints (March 2026, March 2026). Additionally, there was one unusual report in March 2025 concerning a dead animal that required removal. Looking further back, there was an air pollution complaint recorded in August 2005, though this is now quite dated relative to the building's current conditions. The building's permit activity records show only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent structural or significant maintenance work has been undertaken.

Risk rating

How 740 N Homan 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.
