Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2642 W Superior St in Humboldt Park, owned by Justina & Kimberly Balde, dates back to 1883 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. There are currently three open, unresolved violations related to complaint-driven inspections as of October 2025, which represent the building's only documented code violations in the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 21 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent requests primarily concerning pet-related issues. Between May and June 2026, there were three pet wellness check requests, along with a vicious animal complaint in February 2026 that required city services intervention. Additionally, there was a rodent-related complaint in late November 2025 that was addressed and closed by Streets and Sanitation. The building's 311 service request history suggests ongoing monitoring or concerns related to both pets and pest control in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2642 W Superior St'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.
