Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60624 16112080280000 2 units · 1907

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 two-unit property at 624 N Drake Ave 1 in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Luis I Godinez, is a century-old building constructed in 1907. Over the past seven years, the building has maintained a relatively low record of service requests and permits, with only two of each being filed. The most recent service requests in 2024 involved a stray animal complaint in August and a tree emergency in June, both of which were resolved. An environmental complaint regarding air pollution was investigated in 2020, though no violations were found. The limited number of service requests and permits over this significant time period suggests relatively stable building conditions, with no urgent maintenance issues or safety concerns documented in the recent past.

Risk rating

How 624 N Drake Ave 1'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.
