Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 528 N Kedzie Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by MR MC LLC 528 N KEDZIE, is an 1888 structure with a limited service history over the past seven years. The property's documented service requests primarily concern rodent issues, with two rat complaints filed in August 2024 and September 2025, both of which have been closed. These pest-related incidents, occurring relatively close together in time, suggest an ongoing concern with rodent management in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, the building has one recorded environmental complaint from 2018 regarding illegal dumping, which was deemed valid and resolved by October of that year. During this seven-year period, the building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit on record, while the total number of 311 service requests matches the total complaints filed. The relatively sparse complaint record could indicate either effective management of issues that do arise or potentially underreported problems, though this is speculative given the limited available data.

Risk rating

How 528 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.
