Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 1931 building at 5037 N Harding in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by THE STANCU & BARBARA M, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an unresolved building code violation from June 2023, which appears to be complaint-driven. The property has been the subject of multiple pest control issues, with three rodent-related service requests in 2024-2025 (two of which were closed while one remains open), suggesting an ongoing challenge with rat infestation. Water-related problems have also been documented, including an open water lead test kit request from December 2025, a closed water in basement complaint from January 2025, and a tree planting request from July 2024 that remains unresolved. The building's violation history shows one resolved complaint-driven inspection from July 2019, but given the age of the building and its recent service requests, these persistent maintenance issues warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5037 N Harding Chicago'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
