Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 407 S Kilbourn Ave in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood is a century-old structure built in 1908, currently owned by David L Johnson Jr. The building's service request history over the past seven years is relatively minimal, with only four recorded 311 service requests, all related to sign maintenance and sidewalk inspection issues. Most notably, there are two sign repair requests from 2026 and 2025, with the 2025 request having been successfully resolved while the more recent 2026 request remains open as of the data's last update. Additionally, a sidewalk inspection request was made and subsequently closed in March 2024, though the report does not indicate any required repairs or concerns noted in connection with this inspection. Importantly, the building's record shows no documented history of more serious issues that could impact resident safety or comfort, such as plumbing, heating, or electrical problems, and there are no recorded complaints or violations related to the property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 407 S Kilbourn 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.
