Initial analysis

This three-unit residential building located at 4737 N Harding Ave in Albany Park, owned by Mohamed Elgzoli, has a documented history dating back to its 1908 construction. The property currently shows multiple areas of concern as of September 2024, with four open violation cases resulting from recent complaint-driven inspections. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years reveals persistent maintenance issues, particularly related to street and tree maintenance, with recent requests in 2026 for tree removal inspections remaining unresolved. The property has experienced documented issues with rodent control, though one related complaint was resolved in May 2026. Prior service requests show the building has faced various neighborhood infrastructure challenges, including a now-closed pothole complaint in February 2026 and a previously accepted tree trimming request in March 2025. The pattern of both building code violations and maintenance requests suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and neighborhood externalities, warranting attention to both the unresolved violations and the pattern of tree-related service requests.

Risk rating

How 4737 N Harding 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.
