Initial analysis

The property at 123 E Kensington Ave in the West Pullman neighborhood is a historic building constructed in 1857 and currently owned by Refugio Martinez, with the ownership extending to two parcels of land. The building's official record shows relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with only four documented incidents through the 311 service system directly related to the building itself. However, there has been a notable pattern of fly dumping complaints in the immediate vicinity of the property, with four such incidents reported between December 2024 and January 2025, all of which have been closed in the 311 system. While these complaints have been properly addressed through the city's service channels, the clustering of these incidents in late 2024 - early 2025 suggests a recent challenge with waste management in the immediate area, though it's worth noting these complaints pertain to the vicinity rather than directly to the building's condition or management. The property's age and limited service request history over the past seven years indicates relative stability, though the recent cluster of environmental complaints in the surrounding area is a notable recent development.

Risk rating

How 123 E Kensington 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.
