Humboldt Park, Chicago IL 60651 16034200010000 2 units · 1908

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 property at 957 N Keeler Ave is a 2-unit residential building located in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently under the ownership of TAXPAYER OF. The building's record over the past seven years reveals significant issues, with a staggering total of 2,228 building violations recorded, though the nature and severity of these violations are not specified in the data provided.

Recent activity shows particular concern with vacant and abandoned building issues, with two such complaints filed in July 2025 and one in December 2024, as well as rodent control problems in July 2025.

While the property has obtained 338 building permits in the past seven years, suggesting some level of attempted maintenance or improvements, the sheer volume of violations and service requests raises questions about overall building conditions and management practices.

Risk rating

How 957 N Keeler 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
27thpercentile
