Initial analysis

The property at 746 S Kilbourn Ave 1 in Garfield Park is a two-unit, 1915 building currently owned by Don A Raybon. The building's records for the past seven years reveal several concerning patterns, particularly in 2025, where there have been multiple unresolved building code violations as of August 2025, all related to complaint-driven inspections. The building has experienced persistent issues with air conditioning in August 2025, with six separate service requests filed between August 1 and August 21 that have since been closed. The property has a total of five documented building violations over the past seven years, alongside 13 service requests through the 311 system, which is notably lower than the owner's total of 35 service requests across two parcels. There is also a record of one building permit being issued in the past seven years, though the specific details of this permit are not provided in the data. While the most recent building violations and service requests indicate current infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding climate control systems, the relatively limited number of historical violations and service requests over the past seven years could suggest these are recent and potentially unresolved systemic issues.

Risk rating

How 746 S Kilbourn 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.

Neighborhood percentile
64thpercentile
