Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 831 N Kostner Ave in Humboldt Park, owned by JDP Groups LLC, is a 1913 structure that has experienced notable challenges in recent years. The property has generated a significant number of building violations, with 39 cited in the past seven years, and a substantial volume of 311 service requests totaling 129 during the same period. While only three of these service requests relate to building-specific issues (street lighting and waste management concerns in 2025), the majority seem to pertain to other municipal services. The building's permit activity shows relatively limited engagement with city services over the past seven years, with just two building permits issued.

Risk rating

How 831 N Kostner 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.
