Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1725 N Hudson Ave in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Craig Knapp, is a historic structure dating back to 1879. The property has generated a total of 26 service requests over the past seven years, with notable clustering of activity over the past few months. Between August and September 2025, there was a significant focus on tree maintenance in the vicinity, with three tree trim requests and three tree debris cleanup requests documented in August-September 2025, all of which have been successfully closed. While the building's age and two-unit configuration are typical for the neighborhood, the recent concentration of service requests suggests active property management addresses environmental maintenance issues promptly. The master building record shows no major building code violations or safety incidents, and the property's service request history primarily consists of routine maintenance issues rather than resident-impacting concerns.

Risk rating

How 1725 N Hudson 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.
