Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1708 N Kimball Ave in the Humboldt Park neighborhood is a historically significant structure dating back to 1883, currently owned by Jose Luis Lopez. The property has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one 311 service request filed from the building's address during this period. However, there is an open water lead test kit request from August 20, 2024, which represents the most recent and only current service request associated with the property. While the building's 311 service request history is minimal with only five total requests linked to the owner across two parcels, it is noteworthy that the most recent request relates to water quality testing, a matter of public health significance, though testing kits are typically provided as a preventative measure rather than in response to identified problems.

Risk rating

How 1708 N Kimball 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.
