Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1856 N Richmond Street in Logan Square, owned by CHEXAPAD LLC, is a 1891 structure with minimal documented issues over the past 7 years. While the building has only one recorded building violation during this period, it's worth noting that this unresolved periodic routine inspection violation was documented as recently as November 2025, representing the most significant current concern regarding building maintenance or safety. The property has generated 12 service requests through the 311 system in the past 7 years, with the majority of recent activity occurring in 2025. This includes three abandoned vehicle complaints and multiple tree-related requests (both removal and planting) that remain open. While there was one street light outage complaint in October 2025 that has been resolved, the building's owners have applied for and received two building permits in this timeframe, suggesting some level of ongoing property maintenance or improvement work.

Risk rating

How 1856 N Richmond St'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.
