AI summary

The two-unit building at 938 N Hoyne Ave 1A in Chicago's Ukrainian Village, owned by DMG LLC, has been standing since 1891 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years. Most concerning is the recent pattern of rodent-related issues, with two active and past complaints about rat problems in 2026, one of which remains open as of mid-June 2026. These pest control issues seem to have emerged as a recurring challenge for the property, considering the proximity of the two complaints within one month. Additionally, there have been other quality-of-life complaints on record, including a street light outage in June 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in February 2025, both of which were resolved through the municipal system. While the building's age is significant, the primary focus for current and prospective residents should be the ongoing pest management situation, which appears to be the most pressing concern among the documented service requests.

Risk rating

How 938 N Hoyne Ave 1A'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.
