AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 872 N Hermitage Ave, located in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, is a 128-year-old structure built in 1895 and currently owned by Donald Nelson. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of eight 311 service requests, with all issues recorded as having been resolved. The most recent entries in 2026 include a dead animal pick-up request and a rodent baiting complaint, suggesting some challenges with local wildlife and pest control in the vicinity. Prior to these, there were two consecutive yard waste pick-up requests in September-October 2025, indicating possible ongoing landscaping maintenance needs. In 2024, the building underwent two significant requests: one for a water lead test kit, which is particularly noteworthy given public health concerns about lead contamination in water systems, and another for sign repair through the Department of Transportation. The service request history, while not extensive, shows a range of maintenance needs from pest control to yard maintenance, with no documented emergencies or serious safety concerns in the available records.

Risk rating

How 872 N Hermitage Ave 200'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.
