Initial analysis

The two-flat building at 1710 S Hamilton Ave in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by R Fernandez and G Gamboa, has a relatively minor incident history over the past two decades. The 1888 structure has been maintained as a two-unit property, with its ownership records showing a total of one parcel. In recent years, the building generated minimal municipal service requests, with only two 311 calls in the past seven years: a closed tree trimming request from January 2025, and a resolved garbage cart maintenance issue from October 2024. More notably, there was a valid air pollution complaint in July 2023 that was promptly investigated and resolved within one day, marking the most recent significant incident on record. Interestingly, this was not the first such complaint associated with this address, as there was another air pollution work order documented in August 2003, suggesting a historical pattern of environmental concerns at this location, though the most recent incident appears to be an isolated occurrence based on available data.

Risk rating

How 1710 S Hamilton 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
