Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4744 N Harding Ave in Albany Park, owned by Dong V Ha, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1925. The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with two unresolved building code violations recorded in July 2019 from complaint-driven inspections, which remain open as of the latest data review. The building's maintenance history shows four 311 service requests filed within the past seven years, all of which were logged in 2024. These requests primarily concerned external infrastructure issues, including two street light outages (both in May 2024) and a tree trimming request (May 2024), along with one request related to garbage cart maintenance (June 2024), all of which have been marked as closed. While the street light and tree maintenance issues were promptly addressed through 311 calls, the persistence of the building code violations from 2019 warrants attention as the only remaining open complaints on the building's record.

Risk rating

How 4744 N Harding Ave 1'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
