Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 220 S Hoyne Ave in the United Center neighborhood, owned by Richard Allums, has been in operation since 1993. The property has maintained relatively few issues over the past seven years, with only one building violation recorded, though notably, this violation from September 2025 remains open and unresolved as of the current date. Between 2025 and 2026, the building experienced a cluster of maintenance and pest-related concerns, with five separate rodent-related incidents requiring Streets and Sanitation intervention, all of which were successfully closed. The building's service request history also documents three other incidents during this period, including a leak inspection request in March 2026, which was resolved, and another building violation complaint in June 2026, which was closed. While the building has experienced some pest management challenges, particularly notable in mid-2025 with multiple rodent complaints in close succession, the prompt response and resolution of these issues by city services may indicate regular maintenance and remediation efforts by the owner, with the exception of the unresolved permit-related inspection violation from September 2025.

Risk rating

How 220 S Hoyne 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
85thpercentile

Out of 300 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
