AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1625 S Ruble St 1FLR in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Martha S Velez, is an 1884 structure that has been subject to limited service requests in recent years. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows three 311 service requests, with the most recent being an open request from June 2026 regarding garbage cart maintenance. Prior to this, in December 2024, there was a significant incident involving water in the basement, though this complaint was subsequently closed. Earlier in the same year, there was another garbage cart maintenance request from October 2024 that was resolved. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a residential property of this age, the water-related issue from 2024 represents the most concerning event on record, though its resolution status could indicate it was either addressed or no longer persistent.

Risk rating

How 1625 S Ruble St 1Flr'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.
