Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 131 N Homan in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, owned by Ike Sims, was constructed in 1981 and has experienced significant building code violations over the past seven years, with a total of 102 violations recorded at the building level and 397 at the owner level across 11 parcels. Of particular concern are six open unresolved building code violations from September 2021, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, which appear to represent a persistent safety or maintenance issue. While there have been six 311 service requests specifically related to this address in the past seven years, totaling 43 owner-level requests, most of these have been for external neighborhood issues such as street and alley maintenance - including potholes and a missing street light pole door - rather than problems directly related to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 131 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.

Neighborhood percentile
