Initial analysis

The 27-unit residential building at 541 North Homan in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation and constructed in 2008, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most significantly, in March 2021, the building underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six code violations, though all were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a relatively consistent record, with a total of nine building violations recorded over the seven-year period, and while two 311 service requests were logged, they were specific to infrastructure issues (an alley pothole) and animal welfare (an injured animal), both of which were promptly closed. The owner, Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation, holds seven total parcels and has recorded slightly higher totals in violations and service requests under their name, with 15 violations and 15 service requests, along with one environmental complaint, though the specific nature and outcome of this complaint is not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 541 N Homan Chicago'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.
