Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1713 N Francisco Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Brian McNiff, has a recorded history dating back to 1878. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 30 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent complaints in early 2026 involving water service issues and a missed garbage pick-up. Notably, there were multiple water-related complaints filed on January 26, 2026 that were subsequently closed. The street around the property has experienced some maintenance issues, with two pothole complaints logged in November 2025. In October 2025, there was also a request for tree trimming services, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years. Looking further back, there was an environmental concern involving service stations or storage tanks that was resolved in August 2013. The property's documented issues appear to be primarily related to municipal services and infrastructure rather than internal building conditions, though the limited number of building permits suggests minimal structural modifications in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1713 N Francisco 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.
