Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1639 N Kedvale Ave in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Angelica Cepeda, has been standing since 1903. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 9 service requests through the 311 system, with all requests originating from the same owner. The most recent activity suggests ongoing attention to parking and signage issues, with two parking code enforcement reviews (one closed and one more recent in May 2026) and two sign repair requests (one still open as of September 2025 and another closed in April 2025). The building's maintenance history also includes a garbage cart maintenance request that was resolved in January 2025 and a closed abandoned vehicle complaint from September 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively modest for a building of its age and size, the concentration of parking and signage-related issues in recent years is notable, with the most recent service activity primarily focusing on finance parking code enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 1639 N Kedvale 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.
