Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1537 N North Park Ave, located in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, is owned by 1537 NORTH PARK LLC and was constructed in 1939. The property's recent service history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only four 311 service requests recorded during this period. The most recent service request, filed in August 2025, concerned a rodent complaint that was subsequently closed. Earlier in 2024, there were two tree trimming requests filed in May (note that this type of request is no longer being accepted), and an April request regarding sign repair, all of which were closed. Looking further back in the building's history, there was an air pollution-related environmental complaint in 2012 that was resolved by December of that year.

Risk rating

How 1537 N North Park 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
