Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 635 W Buckingham Place, located in the Boystown neighborhood and owned by Albert Belmonte, has been in operation since 1911. Over the past seven years, there have been 20 documented service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring throughout 2025. The building has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rat complaints in 2025, with four reports of rodent problems between February and October of that year. There have also been two requests for water lead test kits in July and December 2025, suggesting potential concerns about water quality. Additionally, there was one water-related complaint regarding street conditions in August 2025. The frequency of rodent-related issues and the water quality concerns, including lead testing requests, are notable patterns in the building's recent history, though all reported issues have been officially closed according to the 311 service records.

Risk rating

How 635 W Buckingham Pl'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
