Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 704 N Kedzie Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Nietta Crispino, is a vintage 1888 structure with a concerning pattern of unresolved issues in recent years. The property has accumulated a significant number of open violations over the past seven years, with six building code violations recorded between 2020 and 2021, primarily from complaint-driven inspections and periodic routine inspections conducted in March 2020. Most recently, as of September 2024, there are two open service requests related to water lead testing kits, indicating potential concerns about water quality in the building. The property has also experienced multiple instances of graffiti requiring removal, with three such service requests in 2025 alone, all of which have been closed. Historical records show two notable environmental complaints from the 1990s, including an illegal dumping incident in 1999 and a hazardous materials complaint in 1993, though these are quite dated and may not reflect current conditions. The combination of multiple open violations and recent water quality testing requests suggests vigilance is needed regarding building maintenance and safety standards.

Risk rating

How 704 N Kedzie 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.
