Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 955 N Central Park Ave in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, constructed in 1913 and currently owned by John D. Curry, has maintained a relatively stable record over the past several years. The property has experienced one building code violation in September 2022 related to permit inspections, though this was promptly resolved. Between 2025-2026, there have been multiple service requests recorded through the 311 system, totaling 14 in the past seven years. The most recent issues include concerns with water infrastructure, as evidenced by a leak check request and low water pressure complaint in 2025, though both were marked as closed. Other maintenance-related service requests have included matters of waste management, with two separate requests for cart maintenance and recycling services in June 2025, as well as a rodent baiting complaint in May 2025. An earlier request from April 2025 regarding tree trimming appears to be no longer applicable under current city guidelines. While the building has experienced various maintenance and service issues, particularly in 2025, it's worth noting that all reported problems have been officially closed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 955 N Central Park 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.

Neighborhood percentile
