Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1344 N Hoyne Ave in Wicker Park, owned by Helen Elkelberger, was constructed in 1888 and has exhibited relatively stable maintenance patterns over the past seven years. The property has only one documented building code violation during this period, recorded in January 2021, though this was resolved promptly. The building's service request history shows 17 incidents between 2015 and 2026, with the most recent requests in 2025-2026 primarily involving routine municipal services such as yard waste pick-up, recycling cart maintenance, and animal-related incidents including a coyote complaint and an injured animal report. The frequency of service requests appears to have decreased significantly after 2025, with only one request recorded in 2026, suggesting potential improvements in building operations or city service interactions. The nature of the service requests has been primarily related to street-level municipal services rather than building-specific issues, indicating that most regular building operations have generally proceeded without significant incident.

Risk rating

How 1344 N Hoyne 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.

Neighborhood percentile
36thpercentile
