Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1626 N Albany Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by Belinda Brito, is a 135-year-old property constructed in 1888. The building's record over the past seven years shows a relatively minor number of documented issues, with one building code violation and eight 311 service requests. The only recorded building code violation occurred in May 2025 related to a permit-related inspection, though this was subsequently resolved. The 311 service requests show a variety of concerns, including a plumbing violation in June 2025, blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance issues in June 2025, a finance parking code enforcement review in June 2025, and a rodent complaint in May 2025, all of which have been closed. One additional building violation was reported and closed in September 2024. While the property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in mid-2025, all reported problems appear to have been resolved according to the available records.

Risk rating

How 1626 N Albany Ave 1'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.

Neighborhood percentile
